Well, I enjoyed it...
|
I found Labryinth a harmless page turner which provided ample escapism on a summer holiday.
It didn't help me with a thesis, but Kate Mosse managed to transport me to another place and time for a few welcome hours each day.
The suspense didn't keep me awake but did have me picking the book up for more.
I found the use of the French language worked well in holding the story in place.
I'm going to try Sepulchre now...

Excellent!

Wow some people really didn't like this book did they!
I really enjoyed it, thought it was fun to read, kept me turning the pages, made me want to visit and I liked the plot!
Funny how we are all so different isn't it!
(The other language and translation did get on my nerves too a little bit though!)

Patchy grail quest fodder

Not a bad book, but not a literary masterpiece either. To be quite honest, I don't think the author intended it to be other than a good, undemanding yarn....which it was. There were no huge surprises in the plot outcomes and the reader's credibility was challenged on a number of occasions by the huge number of coincidences and the "dastardly baddie" characterisation was a bit overdone, but a good read by the pool for the holiday.

there should be a zero star option

Typical case of marketing over substance. i was so bored by this it felt like a lifetime before i managed to fight my way to the end. Just goes to show how the benefit of a good agent and going to the right parties can boost your sales. strictly one for the da vinci morons.

the Grail is about living its time to fulfill a truth for those who withhold its secret
|
Two parts to the story but sharing the same plot at different times to withhold the secret of the Grail. Two women sharing the same purpose to follow that path of keeping the trail safe for those who would betray and kill whoever in the way. 3 books and a ring will lead the way which Alice & Alais would do the part to protect along with emotional cause with close ones who will fight for their safe purpose; Guilhem, Sajhe, and Will were their heroes.
The plot is complete and espcially intense towards the last quarter of the book. I would have understand the meaning of the 'The Grail' adventure written this way which gave the story more depth with reason to believe the true reason one would keep to obtain 'long life' and serve its purpose to protect the secret for another generation.
I would recommend this book for those who seek reason/adventure to make out another belief of a Grail story. 3 and a half star for this.
