Mixed feelings really. It felt like reading a movie script. I could almost imagine the actors who will play the different roles. I had an overwhelming feeling of reading 'The Davinci Code', especially in the first half of the book, almost the same plot with a historical background. Some how I feel saturated with this type of books. The second half moved to being a fast paced action movie. Some ideas far-fetched. But I loved the way he describes places. Living in Geneva and having seen some places he has described, made me shed a different light altogether on things I see everyday after reading his beautiful description of them.
Also I liked the way he used actual recent events to build the story. It made me relate more to the story.
