The Club Dumas

Rating:
Summary: 9.5
Review: While I was living it St. Louis, I took this book to Forest Park with me everyday. I finished it under the huge fountain beneath the Art Museum, and beside the man-made stream near the Muni. This book was one of the most entertaining reads I have come across in the past year.
Miles better than the movie. And I'm sorry some of these other reviewers didn't enjoy it as much as I did. Maybe it's because I would love to have a job (quest) like the main character had. I found myself turning back and forth from the current page that I was reading to the diagrams of the ancient text (while keeping a close eye on the jogging beauty's passing by). TALLY-HO SUCKAHS!!

Summary: Book made me fan of Perez-Reverte will buy all his books!
Review: Many have compared this book to the Da Vinci code, I don't see it. I think the characters are much better in this book, and Perez Reverte goes more indepth on their motivations. Plus the translation is brilliant, the prose is beautiful! While the Da Vinci code was a faster paced affair. With both books I found myself running to the internet do research parts of the books I had just read. Great learning expierience from both books. Overall The Club Dumas was written better, and I found myself rooting for the characters more. Plus there were a couple laugh out loud momemts of dark humor I did not expect.
