The middle section describing the political moves of Scotland-based Masons in history was tedious and really tangential -- its relevance to 'Freemasonry for Beginners' was never elucidated.
Overall, an interesting and friendly introduction.

I read this years ago, before Dan Brown and the Davinci Code phenom. I was shocked that the authors of this book lost the plagiarism lawsuite against Dan Brown. Seemed to me that Brown stole everything from this book.

I need to revisit this book. There was a lot to like about it, though as I recall, there were also some points that were hard to accept.

I loved this book. I have no idea whether anything that the authors claim is true or even accurately researched, but it reads well and the ideas are largely plausible. I'm certain that Dan Brown derived a lot of his material from this book. But most essentially it is a gripping yarn.

I also have a soft spot for this book as I was reading it in conjunction with Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, which is not only an extremely concise and informative text on the Abrahamic cults, sects and religious orders since time immemorial but also the greatest piss-take thereof. So yes, I would recommend Hiram Key, but do yourself a favour, and if you have the patience, and read Foucault's Pendulum.… (més)
