I've read it...

I thought it was poorly written to be honest and the style, or lack of it, was annoying me - I loved the strange and fascinating facts about pentagrams and Venus though. Enjoyed Supernature much more...fascinating facts-wise H You have a good time in India then?

India was great ...I have been dreaming of it since I got back...plan to go again soon.

To me it read like the novelisation of a Man From Uncle episode - unrealistic plot, stereotyped characters, wooden dialogue, all in all unreadable garbage. That said his royalty cheques are BIGGER than mine (mine being zero).

There's a movie of the book in the offing now, by all accounts.

With Tom Hanks and Jean Reno. I swear there must be hollywood casting directors who think Jean Reno is the only french actor in the world.
