The Einstein Prophecy by Robert Masello
3.0
The Einstein Prophecy falls in the same vein as [b:The Da Vinci Code|968|The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon, #2)|Dan Brown|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1303252999s/968.jpg|2982101] by Dan Brown. It's a mystery thriller that has our protagonist and his colleagues racing against time, adversaries, and something more to solve the puzzle. The differences between the two books is that The Einstein Prophecy takes a more supernatural stance behind the mystery.
This book has great pacing. It always felt like the plot was moving forward with purpose. Even when our characters were stumped by the next clue, the story still felt determined to get you from point A to point B. I thoroughly enjoyed the background of our mysterious coffin that starts the story.
There were parts of this book that I thought were weaker than other books. The title makes you believe that Einstein will play a big role in this book, but I felt like he was shoehorned into the plot. The characters were all realistic in their motivations and faults, but Einstein felt nearly "Jesus"-like. The way he talked and the way he acted never felt like a normal person would react. Yet, maybe that's the point. Einstein may just be understood as a different breed.
Overall, this was a good read. I picked it up from Kindle Unlimited and it was a higher quality book that I am used to from that service. I would recommend reading it if you need a quick breather from any other heavy reading you might be doing.
