We have quite a few requests for this book and continue to reserve it for students. Being so new, wouldn&#8217;t the cost be high? Sue-MHSLMC<\/p>\n<p>Wow! Another whirlwind mystery\/adventure for Dan. While very popular, I don&#8217;t think it matches The Da Vinci Code in teen interest&#8230;at least not here in Rye. It would definitely have a place on the list if we needed an &quot;adult&quot; title with teen interest, though.<br \/>Lisa Houde Rye Public Library<\/p>\n<p>I have to agree with Lisa. Great book, but doesn&#8217;t have the same interest level that The Da Vainci Code did. Lots of adults taking it out, not so many teens.<br \/>Barb Ballou, Whipple Free Library<\/p>\n<p>Disappointing compared to his others. Ending is blah&#8230; and I don&#8217;t think teens will connect to this story they way they did with Angels and Demons and Da Vinci Code.<br \/>&#8211; Kelly Budd, KHS<\/p>\n<p>An exciting enough story, but very predictable, and definitely and adult novel without much teen appeal. -Kirsten Rundquist Corbett, Lane Memorial Library, Hampton, NH<br \/>Very fast-paced, fascinating historical legends and mysteries&#8230; totally full of cliches, as many reviews have noted, but somehow it didn&#8217;t really matter!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s in paperback so the cost shouldn&#8217;t be an issue. However, teens don&#8217;t care about this book the way they do Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons.
