Received from bookmooch today. This book is huge! Have high hopes for this one since the premise sounds so interesting. Sort of a female's take on "The Da Vinci Code".

Perhps my expectations were too high, but this book kind of turned out to be a disappointment and I finally had to give it up after struggling with it for 3 days. In the 250 pages I've read, nothing much seems to have happened- indeed for the most part the author seems more interested in rattling off a string of French names to show off her research than telling the story- and when something did happen, the pacing is often off and the story is told in a very fragmented fashion with very awkward transitions. Also, the 2 central female characters are so bland and colorless that I would much rather be reading about anyone else, including the villains, than them. I think this book would have benefitted a geat deal from more diligent editing, and trimming 200 pages or so probably wouldn't have hurt either.

I actually found a copy of this one at the library sale recently, so I've passed this copy on to sdkelley for Noumena's RABCK challenge. Enjoy!
