You may think a book about the papal elections could not possibly be as thrilling as a Reacher novel.

You’d be quite wrong.

An excellent companion for the Conclave movie. Although both are pretty similar, almost scene for scene, the book gives a more direct account of the inner struggle that suffers his protagonist, Cardinal Lomeli/Lawrence, and his relationships with the other characters. In any case, I'm left with the feeling of wanting to know more about the new Pope and this future, and the abrupt ending doesn't leave any time for that.

I would recommend this book to those who want to delve a little deeper on the story or those who haven't seen the movie and know nothing about it.

i love this so so much
i'm glad i watched the film first because i think it took a bit of pressure off trying to understand and visualise what was happening.
