What an exciting book. This is the kind of novel you live in, you breath in and try to keep up with, intellectually. enthralling and exciting, uplifting and mysterious, Joseph Massucci holds your mind in his hands and pulls you into a maelstrom of ideas and enigmas.

Not bad

very different from my usual books, I tend to stick with crime mystery type, but it was entertaining. not too many twists and turns.
