I have jsut started reading the book, and am about to put it down at page 45 for good. So far it reads like a guide book for Paris.

The question is, is the book really worth the hype?

Depends - it's nothing earth-shattering so you might wonder what the fuss is about but I'd say it's entertaining enough. I'm not normally a massive fan of fiction but it's written with a cliffhanger at the end of each chapter so it sucks you in.

I've not picked it up, cos I've heard it's a load of over-rated old tosh. I'd forget it if I were you ;)

Forget the hype, Paul, read it for its own value, then judge.

Depends if you like word puzzles, religious history, a whodunnit and an entente cordiale travelogue.

Nothing like your own opinion, is there.

Why support the Albion? I've heard they're a small, homeless little club with no future supported by morons.

Then again, I was on a Palace board at the time.

:glare:

20 pages in 16 minutes ? Come off it Dover. You're either FIBBING, or only reading every 7th word. No wonder you're struggling.

Not reading a book becuase it's too hyped is no more of a statement than reading a book becuase it [is] hyped. If you don't want to do something, don't bloody do it! Believe me when I say that noone gives the slightest shit about your motives either way.

Anyway, for what's it's worth I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

Saying that, Angels and Demons is EVEN better....

No! That's my normal reading speed. Sorry if it's a bit quick.
