DNF -Stopped at Ch. 59 pg. 125....I liked some of the chapters that included the gypsies and the parts that had action but it just seemed like other parts of the story were weighed down with alot of facts and information that wasn't even relevant to the story I don't think. It had potential but it just didn't deliver. The writing didn't flow together very well and there wasn't a whole lot about Nostradamus in the parts that I read. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to finish it. There are too many 5 star books out there I still need to find and read... Whilst an enjoyable enough read, I found this book a little disappointing. I had hoped from the title that we would have details of some of Nostradmus's prophecies, or at least some details of his life - however both of these were missing. I felt this was just a little weaker than many books in this sub-genre as a result. I did enjoy it and will read more by this author but do hope they are a little more engaging at times than this one which was just missing something. Unfortunately, a Dan Brown-styled design cover and a promising title is not enough to make a best-selling thriller. The plot is less about Nostradamus and his lost prophecies (actually pretty much all on that subject is said in the blurb on the back cover) than it is about an endless mind-numbing chase across France between a serial killer and a group of people smarter than him. The serial killer has no psychological depth ( a bit of a paradox there) and the gypsy community is depicted as such a backward and superstitious people that you can barely believe what you are reading. One of the French cops is stuck-up to the point of silliness and the other one is so dumb, xenophobic and narrow-minded that one wonders how he became a police officer. Extremely disapointing. Don't judge the book by its cover! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Nostradamus wrote a thousand prophecies. Only 942 have survived. What happened to the missing quatrains? And what secrets did they contain to make it necessary for them to remain hidden? And why did Nostradamus leave his daughter a sealed container in his will? This mystery drives two men with very different desires. Adam Sabir is a writer desperate to revive his flagging career; Achor Bale is a member of an ancient secret society that has dedicated itself to the protection and support of the 'Three Antichrists' foretold in Nostradamus's verses - Napoleon, Adolf Hitler, and the 'one still to come'... The pair embark on a terrifying chase through the ancient Romany encampments of France in a quest to locate the missing verses. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
