Slow Boat to Purgatory

review 1: What a story! I loved it. I am looking for book 2 immediately because I must see what happens next. Alex Donovan inherits a great deal from his grandfather and it turns out to be much more than simple riches. He gets a couple of books and a charm. The books tell a fantastic story and send Alex off to Switzerland in search of more clues. Angels, demons, Heaven & Hell, hitmen - you name it, it's all here.
review 2: Ok ... so I am a sucker for the highlander trope in my fiction (sue me). I really enjoyed this book. It had enough historical minutiae to appease my fascination for obscure facts and progressive revelations that had me diving ever deeper into the mysteries that surround the protagonist ... an immortal Templar protecting a secret from a hidden c... moreabal of Vatican infiltrators while hunting souls who refuse to move on. It probably would have gone much better if the author focused more on actually completing one of the several plot lines introduced in this book. As it is, the ending totally sucked (-1 star) ... it seemed rushed, a tad disjointed and left nearly every major question unanswered. I realize that this is just the first of what looks to be a trilogy ... except it isn't. It is simply a very long winded introduction to the next book which may or may not explain anything either. If I bother to get the next book ... I will let you know how that goes. less
