Le Livre de l'Air et des Ombres

I listened to this as an audiobook. At first I didn't care for the narrator, but then he grew on me, just like the story. I read someone's review, I think on Amazon, that they thought this book was boring because it went too much into the main characters backgrounds. I actually enjoyed that part quite a bit.

Picked this one up for a light read on a long cross country road trip to Seattle. Gruber, a Seattle native, hence the book choice, tells the story of a lost Shakespeare manuscript the the adventure that surrounds its recovery. Think "The Da Vinci Code" meets a lawyer and some gangsters. Gruber does tell an interesting story and he can write, but the book is essentially a cryptographers mystery. Another in a long line of light reads but not in the literary tradition. Summer beach book read that was read in hotels along interstate 80.
