review 1: I can never seem to say no to my neighbor's offers of books and hey it did turn out to be entertaining. Although I stay far away from organized religion, I did find it interesting to read about biblical history, which this story delved into as museum curator Natalie Landau went on the run, being chased internationally by Muslims and Christians who wanted the 2,000 year old necklace with the blue evil eye she has in her possession. It was fun to fantasize about holding an item that ancient and imagine it's powers could still be relevant in the year 2011.
review 2: Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! Marvelous fictional story of "the Light" ... you know, God said, "Let there be light." And, there was light. This book is about that light! Supposedly, Daniel was ... morethe final keeper of the "light", and he hid it inside a golden "evil eye" pendent to keep it safe. It was lost for 3,000 years. This story revolves around the finding of the light and all the countries of the world wanting to own the light. The "Light" is found by a young woman reporter in the sand in the middle east and sends it to her sister in the US thinking its a trinket that someone lost. The journey of the "Light" and the battles, deaths, confiscations, etc. is the story. I highly recommend this fabulous book! less
