They were all annoying, cliched, and lacking any introspection at all. Another thing that bothered me was that the writer threw around the word rape when he didn’t need to. Just for shock value. In general the book was full of misogynist characters (the protagonist in primis) and sexist comments. The women in the book were either damsel in distress, or secretaries, or mistresses, or just raped and killed (I mean, why not right?). And cowboy boots? Seriously? I just hope it’s a translation problem. This book had a great idea, but the delivery fell a little flat. As some other reviewers had said, too many characters to keep track of and I also found it disconcerting Me. Cooper would switch scenes with no breaks. It kept jarring me from the story and backtracking. And again, too much backstory right before another information dump. I hate to give a negative review--rarely do I--so let meet assure you, this was a great story with some very good ideas and definitely worth the read. I, for one, will certainly read another of Mr. Cooper's books. So please do so. no reviews | add a review
Abbey of Ruac, rural France: A medieval script is discovered hidden behind an antique bookcase. Badly damaged, it is sent to Paris for restoration, and there literary historian Hugo Pineau begins to read the startling fourteenth-century text. Within its pages lies a fanciful tale of a painted cave and the secrets it contains - and a rudimentary map showing its position close to the abbey. Intrigued, Hugo enlists the help of archaeologist Luc Simard and the two men go exploring. When they discover a vast network of prehistoric caves, buried deep within the cliffs, they realise that they've stumbled across something extraordinary. And at the very core of the labyrinth lies the most astonishing chamber of all, just as the manuscript chronicled. Aware of the significance of their discovery, they set up camp with a team of experts, determined to bring their find to the world. But as they begin to unlock the ancient secrets the cavern holds, they find themselves at the centre of a dangerous game. One 'accidental' death leads to another.And it seems that someone will stop at nothing to protect the enigma of the tenth chamber ... No library descriptions found. |
