Not one to typically read a mystery crime novel, but I enjoyed this one. The use of religious symbology captivated me. My biggest issue is realising half way through that a lot of the references were fabricated, or “creatively” altered. It didn't ruin the story as a work of fiction, but I can't say it didn't take some of the wonder out of it. Of course, there are aspects that are true, and I did learn a few things. If you're someone interested in the history of Rome, the Catholic Church and the Illuminati, you will have to put the book down to do some fact checking before you go repeating cool “facts” you've learnt. But don't let that wreck the book for you, it still stands up well.
