Reviews

[Paul Groos · Rating 2 out of 5]

A badly researched, badly written and badly translated jumble of unconnected grail factoids. The pictures are beautiful (although we never learn their provenance) and the book has a few nice tidbits of grail lore, but overall the 7 euro’s and two hours I spent on the book were pretty much wasted.

[Aaron Holt · Rating 2 out of 5]

Informative, but the author refused to add any weight to any of the competing theories concerning the grail. Chose rather to make it a mystical experience relative to the searcher. A bit esoteric for my taste.
