Helpful Score: 3
A sure sign that I love a book is if it's one that I want to read again and again. This is one of those books.
The writing and translation are beautiful and literate. The three main characters are developed enough that I knew them -- I knew their good and bad qualities. Their adventures are exciting, taking place in present day but following ancient paths through historical cities like Alexandria, Rome, Jerusalem, Athens and Constantinople.
I like historical fiction, and one of the best parts of this book are the detailed descriptions of historical places, people and events.
All these elements are wrapped together by an intriguing mystery of the True Cross and the secret organization that has protected the relic for centuries.
