Review: Don't Pass On This One - Put the Religious Background Aside
Rating: 4 out of 5

Indisputable Proof  -  (probably 4 1/2 stars). Yes, I had some issues, but not necessarily with the story, but with my lack of knowledge about the history of Christianity, apostles, church, Christ, etc, etc.....To potential buyers.... Don't shy away from this one as I almost did. The plot of the story is well put together. The intense subject matter (relating to religion) is the background (or, maybe not). This book is definitely worth the read. Fortunately, on Kindle, I could press "definition" often, which was helpful. Don't let a lack of knowledge about this religious time period prevent you from reading this novel.I felt the story was a bit wordy and too descriptive at times. Also, many scenes were a bit far-fetched and unbelievable (like Clive Cussler novels). Was it a thriller? Yes. Was it well researched? Yes. The author(s) have done a wonderful job with this book.  The writing was well done, the plot intriguing, editing was not an issue (rare for Kindle), and character development was well thought out. Twists and turns never stop throughout the entire novel.Years ago I read De Vinci Code. I remember enjoying it, but had some of the same issues, references to religious history. Some might have the same thoughts about this novel. Just read it, enjoy, and have some fun with the "learning" curves this novel puts forth.
