![]() Deception Point $16.00 One evening, after exploring the natural and man-made wonders of Cappadocia, my solitary musings were interrupted, with some frequency, by the spirited reading of the choicest excerpts of Deception Point. The reader, a fellow traveler, simply could not savor the vapid, vacuous and utterly charmless prose of Dan Brown alone. Given the laughs which ensued, I'm glad he refused to spare the rest of us. But then, my dear reader, that does not mean that you should not spare yourself. ![]() Secrets of the Widow's Son: The Mysteries Surrounding the Sequel to The Da Vinci Code $17.95 A poor attempt at cashing in on the Da Vinci Code's popularity. I bought this book in the forlorn hope, not of getting a heads-up on Dan Brown's latest whatever, but of gleaning insight into the Knights Templar/Freemason/Mormon connection implied in the book's title. But all the author has to offer is an amalgam of snippets that he's culled from other popular books. That wouldn't be so bad in itself, except that he does not have anything new to suggest or to add to the mix. Waste of time basically. Sorry ![]() El simbolo perdido (Spanish Edition) $29.95 Existe un secreto tan poderoso que, de salir a la luz, sea capaz de cambiar el mundo? Washington. El experto en simbologia Robert Langdon es convocado inesperadamente por Peter Solomon, mason, filantropo y su antiguo mentor, para dar una conferencia en el Capitolio. Pero el secuestro de Peter y el hallazgo de una mano tatuada con cinco enigmaticos simbolos cambian drasticamente el curso de los acontecimientos. Atrapado entre las exigencias de una mente perturbada y la investigacion oficial, Langdon se ve inmerso en un mundo clandestino de secretos masonicos, historia oculta y escenarios nunca antes vistos, que parecen arrastrarlo hacia una sencilla pero inconcebible verdad. ![]() Angels & Demons - Movie Tie-In: A Novel $16.00 This book is amazing. I don't read much, but I read this twice!!!! The movie sucks though, but not just because "the book is always better", but because the movie is pathetic, and BARELY follows the book. |
