This book was not a fun book to read. The story jumped around so much that I'm still not sure what happened to whom. The premise of the novel is interesting, but the character development is seriously lacking.

Don't get me wrong, I can handle complicated plots, but the thread of the story gets completely lost with the overabundance of character names. The author also jumps from place to place and situation far too quickly to ever get his point across.

For those that said this book was challenging intellectually, I'm wondering if the challenge was just the effort to follow what was going on?

I would not recommend this book.

Solomon's Key is extremely informative and holds your attention. It encourages you to pay closer attention as to what is going on around you. My favorite part of this book were the manipulations taking place in the current era that are directly connected to ancient mysteries. It may be mostly speculation, but it's quite convincing.

The ultimate value of reading this book is discovering your own reaction to the ideas in question. In other words, it's a way of understanding the depth that you might be buried within any religious deception or controlling agencies. With that being said, I must say I enjoyed this book very much, because it's entertaining as well as informative. I have long felt that religion is a hindrance that does not allow man to question. Do I believe in a world wide conspiracy, yes because all conspiracies have a level of truth to them, no matter how far fetched they are, there is a foundation for these ideas.

Weber is certainly "out there" in terms of his overall theory of the sad state of some of the world's most powerful religions and terrorist organizations. He takes the position that the terrible things that have happened throughout history and are happening today are the result of behind the scenes manipulation by sinister leaders. Weber pounds away at orthodox versions of history and religion and does so in an extraordinarily convincing and entertaining manner.

There is much that is good about this book, much that is truth, and much dialogue which springs from an esoteric level. The research is often scholarly and at other times it's nonexistant. Don't take everything in it as gospel, but let him lead you through a magical mystery tour of facts and connections that often have basis in truth. You won't think about the things you see or the news which you read the same way again.

This book handles different sciences to one overall science: the many hidden agendas connected to some of our latest archaeological discoveries and new understandings of ancient mysteries. Solomon's Key integrates history, biology, archaeology, politics, military tactics, psychology, occult sciences, and last but not least the art of manipulating the masses by hiding the truth. This book not only deals with the conspiracies in the world, it also opens the closed vaults of secret societies and their applications in world politics and mass control.

Great read!

Barely halfway through this mind-puzzling story, that not only keeps me in suspense page by page, but also challenges my intellect and ability to think in new ways, I am already totally amazed and taken in by the story and the people in it.
It brings up so many questions that I have never thought of before, could this really be true? Have we been kept in the dark for hundreds of years?
The characters come through as real people, so very different from each other and yet so well described that I can actually see their image for my eyes and share their feelings regardless if they are one of the good guys or not.

I have read Dan Brown in the past, now I read Richard D. Weber...and I'm enjoying every word and every minute of it.
Cannot wait to turn the next pages and looking forward to new books in the future from this brilliant writer.

I made myself read this book front to back. The last third of the book is not to bad but the first two thirds are not my idea of a good read.

It was kind of like watching a movie with subtitles. The stars recite the dialog and then the English subtitles are written underneath. However, with the book you had to read the foreign language and then read the English translation.

Additionally, you're reading along at a good clip when all of a sudden you're stopped dead in your tracks to learn some sort of mysterious code.

Just not my kind of book. I liked what Dan Brown said, he gets about 1 page for every 10 he writes. It seemed like this author didn't through anything out.

If you decide to read this book good luck getting through it.

What a waste of time and money...won't finish this one and that really goes against the grain. I love a good conspiracy theory but this has everyone of them. The author seemed to gather as many as he could and then include them in this really stupid story. Don't even bother.

I love me some historical fiction and was hoping for a good read with this book. I was sorely mistaken. Everything about this book was awful. From the quality of typography to the horrible layout to the actual editing of the book. It was truly one of the more painful books I have read in the last several years. Even though the content was right up my ally, I had a very difficult time getting through this. It seems that many other people seemed to enjoy it. I for one did not. Buyer beware

This was a huge disappointment. There were too many characters. The characters were not described in sufficient detail to keep track of them. The story jumped around constantly, like every 3 pages. Then the book just ended, no real conclusion. I made myself read the entire book because I kept hoping it would come together with some kind of story, but I wasted my time.

Confusing, tangential, an editing disaster and practically impossible to follow. I just plain gave up, and I love books in this genre.

if this book wasnt on my kindle i would burn it. i have been trying to finish this book for months i am almost done and i have no idea what is going on. if it werent on my kindle i would swear i must have lost my place or skipped a bunch of chapters or started reading a different book somewhere in between. it really is a terrible book can i have my money back and the waisted hours i spent plodding through this book. this book should be renamed to solomons key the cure for narcolepsy.

This is the first time I've ever left a review on anything, that's how bad this book was and I'd hate to see anyone else spend money on this book. Not only is it poorly written and extremely hard to follow, but the physical layout of the book is absolutely aweful. The only reason I even came close to finishing it is that I was travelling and had no other reading material (I read the inflight magazine 3 times already). Great premise, poorly executed.
