I thoroughly enjoyed this book. At first it looks like yet another Da Vinci Code knockoff, but it absolutely should not be dismissed as such. Bridging the genre between an archaeological thriller in the veins of Douglas Preston (or Indiana Jones) and socio-political/theological study, The Secret Scroll presents an intriguing and captivating journey, immersed in the turbulence of Jersualems past and present. I would recommend this book particularly to people who thought The Da Vinci Code was interesting in concept but flawed in execution. Josh is a far superior (and more likeable) hero, and the tale itself is more engrossing. Cutler also succeeds where I feel Dan Brown failed -- he never hits you over the head with what's going on, or the message he's putting forth. The entire book has a very natural flow of ideas and exploration.… (altro)
