review 1: Archaeology has always fascinated me. I love the mystery behind the items being uncovered and the possibilities of what it really was compared to our interpretation of what it is. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed that piece of the book. I was able to go online and see the main archaeological sites of Gobekli Tepe and Lalesh, which were just a click away. I also feel that the author thoroughly knows the city of Sanliurfa, which added great texture to the scenes that played out in that city. The book weaves a historical secret within an actual timeline and the quick pace of the story added to my enjoyment. I also did not have any issues with the main character as I know others have. Where I had a hard time, and was only able to give it a 3.5 rating, were the horrific ... moretorture scenes described in detail. The main bad boy is truly, truly evil --- psychotic taken to the nth degree. His pleasure is to ****Spoiler Alert*** use ancient tortures as his means to an end: think Viking, Aztec. Overall, I enjoyed the read and most likely will pick up book 2: The Marks of Cain.
review 2: I enjoyed this book immensely. It makes one think that about how much we really don't know about our human history and the origins of religion. There are some horrid and disturbing details, but I'm not sure they could be left out. The book wouldn't have had the same impact for me had they been.The ending does leave a bit to be desired and is maybe a bit unrealistic, but its a work of fiction; and it had to end somehow. less
