This sounded so awesome with unraveling a 10,000 years old mystery with giants and so on with thrilling elements to it. But meh, I was so underwhelmed and not at all excited by the story. This wasn't the fun adventure I wanted

I really liked this book, it was a good listen. I actually loved all the info dumping and the ways they would tie in all the science to the conspiracies. A very enjoyable book!

This book was so chaotic and fun to read. From start to finish it was a wild ride and so much happened. This reads like a cult classic movie-so bad it was good. There are so many wtf moments, wild responses, and wild logic throughout the book. I loved every minute of it. This was a blind date with a book situation for me. I wouldn't have picked it if I came across the synopsis myself, but I am really glad I read it. There are several quotes/scenes that I'm going to be amused by for months, maybe years.

This was an entertaining if superficial read. While the jacket name-checks the Davinci Code it falls a bit closer in tone to the Event Group novels than it does Dan Brown. Adventure/Thriller fans not as comfortable with the presence of the fantastical in their reading will likely balk. Open-minded readers who just want a fun romp should definitely give this a shot.

This is probably more of a 3.5.
I had a lot of fun with this pulpy conspiracy-brain thriller.
That blurb on the cover comparing this to X Files and National Treasure is pretty accurate. So basically like DaVinci Code with more Facebook sleuthing and giants.

Overall, the book kept me intrigued until the end. I appreciate the amount of research that went into it, including actual quotes and Snopes articles mentioned.
Some parts were a bit confusing. I had to go back and reread a few times, only to realize that it wasn't that I had missed something, it just wasn't included. Or was worded oddly.
With how thorough each side was with tracking, there were a few parts that left me scratching my head.
Also want to add, the whole chase to find and kill the 6 finger man who may or may not have killed his father.. That had to of been a Princess Bride reference, but with how many times the main character kept saying it made that whole thing very hard to take seriously.
