johnnyb1954 's review for:
The Omega Factor
by Steve Berry
So much longer than it needed to be. So much repetition about the (factual) horrors perpetrated by the Catholic Church and its various officials. So much repetition about the secret that that was driving the plot of this story. And on and on.
Oh, and the pair of bad guys: one tall and thin, one shirt and stout, as if trying to parody every bad guy do since the original 101 Dalmatians. But it is not even played for laughs.
This is either a spoiler or a gift that may prevent you from investing time in this book:
The secret supposedly will bring down the Church by destroying peoples faith in the Pope and the Church. Yet the book details atrocities, crimes, and corruption which went in for centuries and had not destroyed the Church. The secret here parked in comparison, so the whole premise of the book fails. The surprise twist at the end also fails to be surprising.
