Schrijfstijl doet me erg denken aan die van Jeroen Windmeijer. Feiten wisselen zich af fictie. Vermakelijk boek.

Het duurde even tot de verhaallijn opgang kwam. Ook veel lange onderbrekingen op de hoofdlijn in het begin. Het einde van het verhaal was beter en wel spannend. Dus uiteindelijk wel een ok verhaal.

Blij dat deze uit is. Niet mijn ding.

Dit boek heeft een Dan Brown-achtige opzet maar men heeft te veel willen vertellen. Er zitten gaten in het verhaal, bepaalde hoofdstukken willen honderden jaren religieuze geheimen samenvatten in enkele pagina's waardoor ik de clue soms niet snapte.

Het Barcelona van Gaudi is een prachtige setting om een boek over te schrijven. Ik heb genoten van deze stukken. Sommige hoofdstukken waren interessant en spannend geschreven, maar het merendeel van het verhaal was te hoog gegrepen. Hier zat meer in. Jammer.

Guadi and architectural/historical descriptions great, plot and characters too trite.

The Gaudi tie-in seemed like it would make for an interesting conspiracy read, and in that I wasn't disappointed. The story moves along quickly, the characters are well developed, and if you have visited Barcelona you'll enjoy all the references to local buildings, streets, cafes, etc. The Gaudi Key was a book that grabbed me and pulled me in within the first couple of paragraphs. It gives an amazing setting and plot that with capture even the pickiest of readers. The characters are very well organized and represent the fine line between good and evil. I was lucky to get a book to be one of the best I have read this year.
I liked the historical aspects of this book, and enjoyed the religious questions raised. This is an excellent work, especially if you are a fan of riddles...a fan of architecture...a fan of mysteries.

I liked the story, it was thrilling but also informative. Though I wished it wouldn't be too schmaltzy and kitschy. Sometimes I thought "Oh, come on!" when mystic light fell on the protagonists and they looked deep in each others eyes...that was a little too much for me and I actually didn't expect this. But still, it was a good read and I had fun.I liked the detailed descriptions of the architecture in Barcelona and it was also nice to follow María and Miguel through the city solving all these riddles.
