NOT WORTH CONSUMING
Welcome to the world of the most dimwitted investigator ever. The biggest plothole is how that man could miss so many clues and leave practically all of the unknowns unresearched but still be a well-known, successful investigator. Anyway, I connected all the dots in the first hundred pages or so and spent the next 200+ pages “dotting the i-s and crossing the t-s”.

Gasp !
Was he even more dimwitted than that halfwit from the Da Vinci Code ?

Hmmm
From what I remember from Da Vinci Code, at least it kept my attention because of the many “mysteries” and details it kept throwing at me. This book only had a few puzzles to solve and the investigator took all of the 350 pages to solve them. (He had a crucial piece of evidence he kept “forgetting” to look at! Grrr!) That’ll teach me not to blindly trust other people’s recommendations. ;)

Aw, Vex...
...you didn’t actually enjoy that rancid pile of crap, did you ??

I “enjoyed” it in the sense I didn’t rationally consider amusing myself by watching the paint peel as an alternative to reading the book. Which is what I was doing with this book. ;)
I’m a person who likes to finish the books I start reading, no matter the quality… I think I only gave up on 3 or 4 books in my whole reading career!

The only reaon I finished it...
...was because of the whole conspiracy theory thing that was going on – I could hardly make an idiot of someone who was quoting Dan Brown if I hadn’t read the book. He couldn’t even get his descriptions of Paris right. Bah.
Otherwise, I would have taken a lot more pleasure out of watching paint dry :)
