Confession here. I got to 60% read and just couldn't take it anymore. It got to a point where washing dishes was more exciting than this book.Now to be fair, I also did not like the DaVinci Code because it was boring, but this book is more boring than the DaVinci Code to me. I do understand this is my personal taste, but some of us are just not into this style book. I think if this story was redone from about 1/3 to the end it would be a different review by me, for one. Oh, and to the author. Cut down on all those long and lengthy discussion please if you want to salvage the book. You've got your characters in a 'war' to save the Catholic Church here! You have no time to teach class!The story writing is a 50/50 sort of thing. I think if what was written had been more exciting, the story would have seemed better written. You know, some people say liking things are all in the presentation. Stories are only as good as they are presented. This story would put me to sleep. Is the story believable? I would say that is 50/50 as well.  First of all, you can get rid of the tub scene with "Sister" Wacko and her "Boss" / "Priest" / "wanna be lover". I mean really! You have got to be kidding me.The credibility of the characters is also a 50/50 thing as well. Let's get back to "Sister" Wacko. She is supposed to be the bad guy here folks! Make her exciting! Make her strong! Make sure she has all her body parts because the way she is represented, I, at 66 years old, am stronger than she is! And I have all my body parts too!One of the reviewers mentioned the book was not so bad in the beginning. I believe she is right. At least at that point the story and characters were more credible. Then something happened and the whole book just started going downhill.So, my advice to the author is:Leave the book as is and hope for the best...  orRedo the book from about 1/3 on and see what happens.My advice to those thinking of getting this book....If you liked the DaVinci Code, you may well like this.If you did not like the DaVinci Code because you thought it too dull, don't get this book.
