I really loved this book. It was easy reading, and interesting and mysteries from first page till last page. It was well written and characters brilliantly created and lively. Couldn’t stop think about what will come next. What will Ezio learn next? Where he will go next? It was keeping me wired till the end of book?

I think, like other reviewers of this book, that I expected too much from a book based on a video game. I actually played and enjoyed the game (albeit quite a few years ago) so I thought I'd enjoy the book as well but ultimately the book proved to be a bit of a chore to even finish. The main character was very one-dimensional and hard to sympathize with even when he has terrible things happen to him. The narrative goes back and forth between being completely generic (condensing years into two sentences) to being borderline silly at times with the details provided. Famous characters from history are peppered in where they make odd remarks about the works that would eventually make them famous (which hadn't been done yet in the context of the story). The final climax of the book takes off in an unexpected direction - not in the sense of "wow, I never saw that coming!" but more in the sense of "wow, that's stupid...". Ultimately, I wouldn't recommend this book and do not intend to read any more of the series.
