This one was terrible. I liked the first one, but this is just bad. Hardly any exploration of the amazing world, only petty storylines with no reason to be there other than to produce a thicker book.
Naiv politics, boring main story arc, uninterresting new characters. My suggestion is to kill it with fire.
Half of the book is not a Thriller but a History book, which can bore you to death if your not into italian culture/history. The story itself is, partly, far fetched and artificially stretched to keep you interested in the next chapter, which works to some extend. Nothing is revealed for 80% of the book and then everything is laid open in 2 chapters. At the last chapters i was seriously annoyed by the book. If you are not into Dan Brown and/or italian history, dont read it, its a waste of your time.
P.S. I am wondering how much money Dan Brown got from Apple.
