review 1: Having recently finished Becker's new title Lost Testamenet, I have been inspired to go back and read his earlier thrillers. The Moses Stone did not disappoint at all, in fact I was glued to it! I've become a big fan of Bronson and Angela and I'll very happily continue to read my way through these pageturners. Before reading these books, though, I had no idea how dangerous it was to work at the British Museum...
review 2: I'm sure that the 'Moses', linked to the word 'stone', gives you a fair clue as to what this one is about.Unfortunately, this is another one that begins well enough, but which could have been much better. Becker decides to slip into an already well-worn formula, even though the other one of his I read previously 'The First Apostle', I remembe... morer as being really quite good. Makes you wonder if his publisher asked him if he had a 'Me Too' historical/religious artefact thriller lying about and Becker rush finished this one and they pumped it out.What really irritated me, is something that happens in many of this type of book. It is the 'technique' of having the characters explain to each other, at great length, the historical or technical information the author feels the reader needs next to understand the novel or the next development in the story. Having the information conveyed by a character, rather than the author just putting the necessary information into the narrative, always makes me wonder how lucky our plucky hero is to stumble across the leading experts in their various fields with total recal and photographic memories. And it annoys the whathaveyou out of me. 'The Moses Stone' does it at nearly every turn. It's not alone in doing this, as I've said, but it really got to me before the end of the story.I may have to think twice before reading another of his. less
