They have strong opinions but an immature writing style.
By bobbie@global2000.net on October 15, 1997
Format: Paperback
The Fanthorpes want to tell us everything they know but don't bother to organize the treasure they believe they found. Facts and theories stumble over each other in long, meandering paragraphs. They announce their strong disagreement and disapproval with the theory set forth in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, but do not present an alternative clearly and with enough evidence for me to grasp. Too bad. I like their hidden treasure theme.
I suppose what was especially disappointing were the several photos of Lionel looking too pleased with himself at important locales. I would rather have seen more graphs and visuals which promoted the revelations of those secrets.
They present some fascinating esoteric codes at the end of the book, but don't explain them well enough for the average intelligent reader who happens not to be a puzzle fan.

Some good info, but seems biased
By A Customer on December 1, 1998
Format: Paperback
The Fanthorpes explore the Rennes mystery, and offer some good information in this book. However, it isn't always presented clearly and some of the theories and conclusions they draw from it don't seem fully supported. I was left with the impression that the book was half Rennes investigation, and half platform from which to denounce Holy Blood, Holy Grail. It's not surprising (given Lionel's clergy background) that they would disagree with Holy Blood, Holy Grail's conclusions. But this potential bias must be remembered when reading it, and their dismissive tone when talking about some of the more controversial theories about Rennes needs to be taken with a corresponding grain of salt. If they offered counter-evidence convincingly presented, that would be a different matter. Instead, their otherwise interesting investigation seems marred by jabs at other investigators...usually countering other investigators' arguments with faith instead of evidence.

"Something" hits the FANthorpe at Rennes le Chateau...
By Laura Knight-Jadczyk on February 23, 2000
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have to say that I agree with the previous reviews which are phrased very politely. I don't feel so nice after spending my money on three books of illogical drivel. I won't even read the other two, but will return them for a refund!
On page 42, Fanthorpe mentions Guirdham's book "The Cathars and Reincarnation," saying that Guirdham "very lucidly indicates many Cathars actually believed in reincarnation: if the evidence of Dr. Guirdham's principle informant is to be taken seriously, and there is much in her evidence that deserves careful and sober reflection, some Cathars actually succeeded in practising it."
Well, aside from being a non sequitur, I am not sure how a person "practices" reincarnation. But, then, Fanthorpe goes on to outline the Cathar beliefs just as though they are the one's derived from Guirdham's source... which they are NOT.
As it happens, I just finished reading Guirdham's book, and what Fanthorpe tries to imply (or wishes the reader to infer) as information from that source, is merely the same old anti-Catharist rant derived from the records of the Holy Inquisition. So much for Fanthorpe's honesty.
Next, in one of his snide jabs at Lincoln, Leigh and Baigent's excellent work (leaving out whether it is correct or not; it is still good research, and is well presented), Fanthorpe makes the most AMAZING statment I think I have ever encountered, to wit: "By invoking an argument as tortuous as any Orwellian... doublethink, "The Messianic Legacy" attempts to discredit any arguments based on subjective feelings and inner experiences. ...Read more ›
