Loved this! Excited to start the 3rd book in the series. I love the main character, love the writing, and thoroughly enjoyed the plot of this book.

I picked this up from a used book sale at the library. I am always happy when I find a new author to read. Brad Meltzer is now on my list of go-to authors.

This is a great story from such a well studied source. Original setting and really twisting plot. Just when you think you might have it figured out, it changes direction. It is cliche to say that you couldn't put a book down. I can say that I regretted it every time I had to leave it. I looked forward to getting home from work so I could dive back in.

I was glad to see this book end, but WTH? When I reached the last page, I was certain that there was more to come. Come on, that couldn't REALLY be the last page. I feel cheated. Whomever it was that told Brad Meltzer he could tell a good story, well, they LIED. I know he set it up for a sequel at the end, but he could've went about it in a MUCH better way. And what the hell with all the weird character names? If he was trying to make a character by giving them a memorable name, he did the exact opposite for me. I won't remember these odd names at all, other than the fact that they were odd. I will NOT be reading another book by him, EVER. The book gets two stars from me, because there were times during the book that I was curious as to what happened next. But then, sure enough, it just got silly.

I made it to 35%, plus I read another 8% when I skimmed the end of the book to find out what happened. While I like the idea of an archivist for a main character, the adventure plotline felt contrived and hokey. Plus, I grew tired of Beecher talking about how his love interest had changed over the years. Zzzz. Just not my thing, too cheesy and stuff.

A pretty good book. I read this because I've read Brad Meltzer's children's books and love them. I was curious about his work for adults. I like the plot very much. There were some good twists, and the ideas were original and fun. Like National Treasure meets Dan Brown or something. There were spots of writing that I didn't love, but overall a good read (no pun intended).
