I was mildly disappointed with this book. It took me longer than usual to finish it, like when I read [b:The Alexandria Link: A Novel|74824|The Alexandria Link A Novel (Cotton Malone #2)|Steve Berry|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170865291s/74824.jpg|1407664]. Be warned that nothing really exciting happens until about three quarters of the way in--a long time to wait for the juicy bits. The character was not endearing in any way, I found myself unable to relate to him, which was odd because Brokaw clearly intended for him to be a knock-off of Brown's Langdon. It generally lacked any qualities to pull the reader in, and in the end, didn't even tell the reader what s/he really wanted to know. In these types of thrillers, the reader expects a certain amount of mystery, and certain things to remain secret, but this was kind of ridiculous. Also, if you don't believe in God, this will be a disappointing read for you.
