I love the book. It kept me curious. I cannot say too much of it, but yes, I love it! Absolutely! I will always remember it.

Not his best book. But I still enjoyed it. It was a slow read in the beginning, but once passed page 150 I was finally captivated. There were a few “mysteries” in the book that I saw coming, that is not something that happens in his more recent books.

I already read everything from this author and I can say confidently that even though it's not a bad book I would still prefer any of the others to this one. Pacing and unnecessary ellaboration was the problem but still a Dan Brown classic.

Kesalahan kecil dapat berakibat besar. Kesalahan 'kecil' yang dibuat Tankado hingga mencelakai dirinya sendiri. 'Kesalahan' kecil (bug) yang membuka jalan penawar bagi 'cacing'. Overall, pemikiran Tankado sangat cerdas dan keren! Alur ceritanya keren dan David Becker benar-benar beruntung.

This was a pretty good book! I liked the characters and the whole mystery. Even though it was a tad stretched out, it made for good subplots and whatnot. It was interesting but it has Dan Brown Syndrome. Dan Brown Syndrome is how in all of his books, the big mystery winds up never truly existing and it was all a scheme or something but some traitor among the protagonist.
This happens a lot. But since it was so good it's alright! :)

I really enjoyed reading this book (although I did want to slap a few of the characters throughout the book) it’s thrilling from beginning to end and the fact that i read it in two days (a personal record btw) just goes to show how much this book draws you into it’s world.
