I got this book at a book exchange we had with my book club.
My first impression was that this book was going to be very similar to The DaVinci Code, with lots of intrigue and mystery. It both was and wasn't. Comparing the two books, Dan Brown did a much better job of taking the very deep thoughts of DaVinci and making them accessible to the masses. I don't think that Javier Sierra did quite as well. At the end of the book, I was still asking myself if I understood what DaVinci supposedly hid in the Last Supper... And then in the afterword, Sierra talked about his research and said something along the lines of...such and such theory has never been proven, until now. It left me scratching my head, because I'm a pretty intelligent person, and I did not get that feeling of the concrete understanding that I was hoping for.
All-in-all, there are good parts of this book, but I wouldn't say that the conclusion merits the journey.
