I was taking a chance on this one; I have gotten sick of the Davinci-esque novels, but I have enjoyed Meltzer in the past. I wasn’t disappointed here; the whole thing with the Freemasons seems to have been hacked in just so the publisher could try to sell it as being in the Davinci genre; in reality, it’s just a solid thriller/whodunit. An entertaining read.

At one point I like Meltzer... but this one: ugh.

Just when you think the DaVinci knock-offs have gone as far as they can go in the spectrum of ridiculousness, then comes Book of Lies, which tries to tie together mysteries surrounding Cain (from the Bible), a mysterious secretive group of Aryans, and... wait for it... the creator of the Superman comic.

Do yourself a favor and avoid.
