Interesting, yet difficult July 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Whilst this book does leave you with the feeling of just wanting to read one more chapter before putting it down, I found it and incredibly difficult book. There are so many characters to keep track of through-out, the chapters jump around all over the place and add those two things to the code under pinned in the book and this is not something you can just half heartedly read. You need to pay attention.
Good book but you need to give it 100% concentration.

Not by James Rollins but Weber and what a load of rubbish. It attempts to be clever and fails miserably on several fronts even adding it's own special code letters which are in bold and then underlined in case you missed it to begin with. It might defeat a 4 year old.
Ther reader is assualted with pseudo intellectual discussion throughout which frankly does not wash and as such , the constant almost slavish references every two pages to the Freemasons and the Rosicrucians gets very boring. Where it does link to fact ,with the notable exception of Military know how, it is flawed on scientific fact in chapter 90 and ultimately fails to impress on any level.
The best is saved to last as the ending is so unbelievably contrived as to completely dismiss any credibility it might have gained along the way. I lost the plot and ultimately I felt that Mr Weber lost it too.
 Makes you think!! What's fact vs fiction? April 18, 2008

Dan Ronco author of Unholy Domain
An amazing story, including the Knights Templar, the Italian Secret Service, the Vatican, the Holy Grail, the Holy Bloodline, cryptography, Mossad agents, the FBI's DNA database, all weaved together in a fast-paced, believable storyline. Weber's research into religious history and artifacts provides the detail that makes the story believable. His characters, and there are a lot of them, are well-developed, especially the two female protagonists. Solomon's Key is the best to date of the religious conspiracy genre.
Extremely disappointing April 14, 2008

I can't quite believe that others have given this book 5 stars. It was quite amateurish. It was full of spelling mistakes, silly typefaces to give completely unnecessary clues, and had far too many jumps between random characters, none of whom you could possibly care about. I read on average 4 books a week and have read some pretty bad ones but this stands out as the worst book I've read in quite some time. I think the general premise isn't too bad but the writing and characterization make it almost impossible to read.
 Disappointing and messy March 31, 2008

Like Elise, I found this book disappointing. It starts well and seems very gripping. However, a couple of characters who seem very sinister fly off to an unknown destination, so one doesn't really know why they were written in in the first place! The book has so many typing/spelling errors that the printers should be sacked! And the ending is left hanging. Occasionally, one does like to know if there's a happy ending. Either the author lost interest or the book wasn't properly edited - a great pity.
