review 1: Via NetGalleys A good thriller with all the ingredients: an ancient mystery that travels down through the ages, the Secret Vatican Archives, and a mysterious race that co-exists with humans. Christopher Marlowe, and new Popes also figure in this fast-paced tale. I especially e...

review 1: Debería ser un Best Seller. "Piénsalo: los números han ido más a lo largo de los siglos; en el día de hoy, 1 de agosto del 2009, nacerán trescientas cincuenta mil personas y morirán ciento cincuenta mil. Cada nombre está escrito con pluma y tinta. Y les siguen los nombres de maña...

review 1: All I could think about was the national t treasure book of secrets while I was reading this. It was quite slow to start and I was wondering why it was dragging so long. It felt like a literary as well as crime fiction and a religious book. Getting through the first hundred pages...

review 1: Finished this book, but I am not sure what it was about. Is it a story of the discovery and preservation of prehistoric art in a French cave? Is it a story about French resistance ambushing a German train loaded with stolen WWII currency and artifacts? Is it a story about man'...

review 1: Maybe even a little more. Until the last third, my thought was to give it a 3½, as, though exciting, it was somewhat of a recapitulation of the second book of the trilogy (this is the third). However, the last third picked matters up with almost breathtaking pace, and, though i...

review 1: This is a great book! Think 'DaVinci Code' - but well-written, with interesting characters, great dialogue, and plotting that is tight and believable. And best of all - no awkward romance shoe-horned in!Bringing together such disparate threads as Emperor Nero, Christopher Marlow,...

review 1: A story that moves between present time, 15th century England and biblical Roman times, but is truly wonderful! This might sound confusing, but Cooper uses real events from history and seamlessly ties all three periods together. I could not put it down! The story is about a young...

review 1: Panique à New York ! « Le tueur de l'Apocalypse » condamne ses victimes par simple carte postale, illustrée d'un cercueil, avec une date au verso. Celle de leur mort. Sur l'île de Wight, en 777 (date fatidique), la vie d'une communauté de moines est soudainement confrontée à la ...

review 1: Loved it. From the 8th. century to now is a long time. One thing that usually bothers me is the jumping back and forth, but this was smooth and filled in the gaps very nicely. Life in a monastery is hard enough but for a savant who can't talk and won't listen it could be deadly....

review 1: Facciamo un piccolo esercizio mentale. Prendete un vecchio convento del medioevo inglese, metteteci un ragazzino che conosce tutte le date di nascita e morte degli uomini di questa Terra e aggiungeteci qualche violenza sessuale e i misteri della cristianit��. ��, secondo voi, un ...

review 1: LA BIBLIOTECA DEI MORTIStruttura ★★★★☆Giallo – Fantascientifico.Appare naturale che un libro, affinchè sia pubblicato, debba rispecchiare alcuni canoni che ne facciano apprezzare, se non l'idea, almeno lo stile in cui viene presentata. Molto spesso ciò non accade.Ne “La Bibliotec...

review 1: Tried three (three!!) times to read this thing and kept getting impatient because it took forever to tie the three time periods. That's why the book only gets four stars instead of five. Once it comes together, what a ride. All very plausible extrapolations of legends and stor...

review 1: Well, there’s a thing. I’m wondering if I haven’t read ’Library of The Dead’ by Mr Cooper and thinking not. I know I have read ’Secret of The Seventh Son,’ when it turned out ‘Library’ and ’Seventh Son’ are one and the same. Somewhere along the line, the title got changed. In whi...

review 1: I did enjoy this book, but not half as much as I did Library of the Dead. Where were the murders and crime mysteries like in the first? This was the main reason I was so compelled to read the second book. I also felt like a number of stones were left unturned and questions unansw...

review 1: “Much Ado about Nothing”The emotion that came to my mind after I had finished reading “The Book of Souls” by Glenn Cooper. The book was another conspiracy thriller which combined books written by ancient monks, with undiscovered letters written by William Shakespeare, John Calvin...

review 1: I received an advanced copy from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you, Lascaux Media!A lot of fun. A historical-archeological mystery perfect for fans of Dan Brown. It is a little too unbelievable, but the plot is so tight, at the end I didn't care so much about...

review 1: Fun book - what a page turner. I really enjoyed how the author wove three narratives from three completely different eras - modern day, 1100s France and 30000 years ago with cave men into a cohesive story with a compelling intrigue which connects all of the stories at once. I l...

review 1: The worst book from the Saga. The story is stupid and predictible. The caracters are plane, without motivation, and the dialogues, just the worst: sosos, stupids, whithout senses. The story is full of Deux machima and the author felt like he want to probe that the old man are sti...

review 1: Posso solo contestare la brevità di questa storia, perchè Glenn non delude: in poco spazio ci riporta alla Biblioteca, ci porta dietro le assurdità della politica americana e i segreti inconfessabili della società bene. Will è sempre il solito abile investigatore un po' piacione ...
