A review by tbr_the_unconquered
Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent

On reflection, I think more about the boring classes that I had to go through in school and college than the good ones. At idle moments, they suddenly seem to pop up as random images in my mind. The endless sessions of doodle, half baked attempts at writing and so on but above all that is that dull and dreary tone that some lecturers assume. The kind of tone that numbs your brain but never lets you sleep is what I mean ! If this book had a voice, it would be the voice of such a lecturer.

There was that promise of long lost secrets, ancient legends and a conspiracy theory but then it is buried under huge volumes of pedantic information about the Kinghts Templar and The Priory Of Sion. Beyond 200 pages, the last vestige of interest was lost. Maybe some other time.

I created a bookshelf specifically for abandoned books. The number nowadays is slightly increasing.
