This book is a great source for information about Pontiac TAs. As an owner of a Firebird, this book helped me to understand were they came from and how they became the icon that they are. I would recommend this book for anyone that is into Pontiacs and automobiles in general.

This book was outstanding in how it walks you though how to cast and the pictures really do help you to improve your technique.

I enjoyed this book. I felt that the author struct the right balance between historical accuracy, religious beliefs, and just telling a good story. I enjoyed his descriptions of the Herodian Dynasty, and how the politics and religious moments of that time were so interconnected with each other.

The characters had a real quality about them, yet John was able to keep some of the magical mysticism that seems to always float about his character. Also the author allows the reader to keep asking questions about this remarkable time, without saying there is only one way to interpret this story.

If you like historical fiction you will like this book. If you like esoteric literature, you should like this book, and if you just want to read a great story that will make you think, you will like this book.

I enjoyed the travel aspects of this book, I got to go to some new places and I liked that. but the plot was weak and I did not feel fulfilled at the end of this book. It could have gone in a lot of directions but it did complete what it seemed to set out to do.

It did keep me interested enough that I finshed this book, I liked the concept but not the final execution.

I like the book, It was a fast read that did not get very deep. There was more sex in the book then historical depiction of the time. The part I like the most was the author's end note that told of how he came up with the Idea of the book and a real connection to the pass. I also enjoyed learning more about how Gladiator's fought , died, and lived.

If you just want some sex and violence with a little history tossed in, this is a good book. If you are looking for something deeper, keep looking because you will not be happy with the outcome of this book.

I liked this book, if was a fun quick read. Now, If you are looking for stuff about Freemason there are other books that are more interesting. The square and compass on the cover is about as much masonic mystery as you are going to get. There is some general history about some famous people that were know to be free masons and there is some of the normal conspreciy theary stuff that you hear spouted on the internet about free masons but there is very little in this book that has to do with masonry.
This book is about high level government conspiracy that have to do with politics and influences. The beginning is the best part of the book and I enjoyed some of the early character development but the book ends in the typical way of a thriller with out allot of surprises.

So I found it enjoyable, but I don't think it will make my personal top 100 books.

Also, if your a free mason there is not really anything that is negative about the craft in this book. If anything, it shows how people will manipulate others it to believing untruths for their own gain.
