или чудо насред Ватикана
Цялото ревю е тук: sitelink wordpress. com/
Ако тази книга не ми беше препоръчана, едва ли щях да я чета. Но така се случва: от разговор към разговор, Dominus“ Ибис“,, с превод на Коста Сивов си намери мястото сред другите чакащи за прочит книги и редът ѝ дойде няколко месеца покъсно. Всъщност отдавна не чета за конспирации и религия в трилъров вариант, но, както често се случва, подаръкът за рождения ти ден е вълшебно действие и нещата стоят на съвсем различна основа. : Дан Браун пък се появява достатъчно рядко, тъй че не ми се налага да се втренчвам в заразителните конспиративни теории. А книгата на Том Фокс се оказа доста внимателно изпипана, дори ми направи впечатление доброто разпределение на важните ситуации и сцени, от които зависи разплитането на загадката. Главите са къси и добре фокусирани, като в рамките им се случват достатъчно любопитни неща, за да държат в напрежение. Може би все още на мога да свикна с писането по калъп“, което личи в изграждането на героите и отношенията им, дори в собствените им възгледи в случая настоящи и бивши вярващи, но при Том Фокс има и прекрасна идея, развита с внимание и голяма доза ексклузивност. Дори незаинтересован човек ще прозре, че връзката на папата с някакво чудо е доста интригуваща, особено когато самият той е обектът му. Но да видим как са нещата отвътре
Продължава в блога: sitelink wordpress. com/ This is a rather unconventional way to start a review, but I want to talk about the END of this book.
The latter part of this story was not only a breathtaking roller coaster ride, but there were some very strange events, that have left me with more questions than answers.
That's not a criticism though, I think that's a good thing sometimes, Well, I'M still thinking about it anyway,
Back to the beginning then, the setting is The Vatican, and there's a conspiracy to discredit The Pope, and the Catholic Church in general.
For anyone who stands in the way of this plot, there's certain death, Around this time a stranger appears at the Papal Mass, and he seems to have a strange calming effect on everyone in his presence, including Pope Gregory.
Some unbelievable things take place after this stranger turns up, but who is he Is this the Second coming or is it part of the conspiracy Alexander, is an expriest, and together with Gabriella, a police officer, they investigate just what's really going on.
The action is absolutely relentless, a real thriller of a ride, and I for one can't wait for the follow up,
Thank you to Netgalley and Headline publishing for my free copy Fantastic opening at St Peters followed by a good conspiracy thriller plot.
Not the ending I hoped for, but still an excellent read, A must for Dan Brownaholics Church/religious conspiracy thriller, I've read some better versions of this type of novel, A stranger walks into St, Peter's basilica in the Vatican City, strolls by the Swiss Guard right to the crippled Pope and commands him to stand, . . This is just one of the miracles happening around Italy in the short period after the stranger's stroll down the nave of the basilica.
Those who cry fraud are promptly silenced, but there are two, an expriest turned journalist and his unrequited flame, a police inspector, that won't back down no matter what.
Is the stranger truly miraculous or just a good conartist, how to explain the other "miracles" and just who is holding the strings.
. . And why.
What caught my eye while browsing in
the fiction section in the airport bookstore, was the promise of being left breathless as while reading Dan Brown's Robert Langon novels.
Unfortunately, it didn't deliver on that promise,
It was slow going from the start, only picking up pace slightly! when there was a murder, shooting, or a runforyourlife situation, the quasi romance angle thrown into the mix was utterly unnecessary, unbelievable, and a complete waste of pages, only adding to the Dominus's snoozefactor.
The suspense had much to be desired in the originality departmentit sounded rehashed and refurbished, more along the lines of "beentherereadthat", the pacing was as mentioned slow as hell when it should've gone out with the bang at the end, it fizzled out with a whimper, and the whole talk of miracles and speculation as to the true nature of the "stranger" rather annoying for a nonbeliever.
I simply wasn't convinced, Needless to say I couldn't care less about the minuscule cliffhanger in the end that promises more in the "electrifying sequel",
Don't make promises you can't keep,
Dominus is a fast paced thriller that keeps you entertained from the very start, When the stranger walks in to a packed Vatican Cathedral and commands wheelchairbound Pope Gregory XVII to stand, and he does unaided, you know you are hooked and want to know what happens next.
Does the world experience a divine miracle of God or a manmade deadly conspiracy Well you wont be disappointed as Tom Fox leads us on a merry dance full of halftruths, heroes and shady characters.
An excellent read that builds to an exciting and satisfying finale youll want to discover for yourself,
Alexander is a journalist at the La Repubblica newspaper in Rome, while Gabriella is an Inspector at Polizia di Stato, Monteverde also in Rome.
Both have bosses that they dont get along with and their paths have crossed in the distant past, When the story breaks of the miracle at the Vatican, they find themselves thrown together when they begin to uncover some shocking possibilities.
The action never really slows as their lives become threatened and dark figures move to stop their investigation and maybe even try to shake the very foundations of the church.
All in all I found this a very good read which held my interest as the action was pretty much relentless.
Lost in the story, it seemed credible, the characters were believable and most importantly I enjoyed the ending, Im happy to recommend it and hope youll like it as much as I did, Well worth a read.
