Did I Read a Different Book?,
By
This review is from: The Last Gospel (Paperback)
I recently read The Last Gospel and am stunned to now come here and read all of the dreadful reviews.
As a commuter, I get to read in two 30 minute train journey each day. The Last Gospel has been my companion for the last month or so on these train journey. Every day I was excited to get on the crammed train and open the book again. I sat at work during the day contemplating stealing a few more pages time. Now perhaps I am just not the right kind of reader, maybe I don't try to pick out faults enough. Maybe I just don't know how to critique a book. But the only thing that I noticed about the narrative style was that no-one ever asked anything, all question were narrated like "Is this a bad book?" Costas Said. I found that a little odd, but I am not an English major, so what would I know. I didn't find any of the characters lacking development or unbelievable. Lucky yes, but unbelievable, no. I did wonder if I was at a disadvantage though, since the characters seem to have been carried from the previous two novels, which I have not read, so I may have missed some good background information. As a whole though, I love this book. It made the last book I finished (The Geographer's Library by Jon Fasman) look slow and poorly written by comparison. It also held my interest in a more compelling way than did The Da Vinci Code. It may not have been quite as fast-paced, but I feel the historical segments really held everything together. Who cares if it is speculative... at least someone has enough creativity to string together ideas like this. It would be fascinating if one day some discoveries along these lines could be made at Herculaneum or elsewhere. I have already bought both of the earlier works of Gibbins and intend to read them as soon as possible.

Well done !,
This review is from: The Last Gospel (Paperback)
Gibbins presents his material in an awesome fashion, on the mark and well researched. For those interested in the "lost libraries" of time this is a MUST READ !
