Loved This Book  (The Grail Conspiracies)
585145
For at least thirty years I have been reading books that attempt to tell me something that deep down I sense but have never known how to activate. This is a power within ourselves that we have forgotten how to use.  Jesus said it Himself when he told the Apostles that what He did they could do and more.  You must read this book.  I never thought that The Da Vinci Code could be matched but I was wrong.  After you read Grail Conspiracies you will be as ready as I am for Michael's next book which is due out soon. I have been checking the book stores for months in great anticipation.

I read this after "The Galactic Gourmet" and was thoroughly engrossed.  What great fantasy and futurism. I could visualize what he was writing about.

More, More , more...I just ordered 2 more White novels.

#sorcerycode is such a great read! The emotion and mystery are captivating! Gala is such an intriguing thing that it's easy to see why others such as Augusta, see Gala as dangerous. Find this on amazon, it's truly a great book!

A remarkable book, reminiscent of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum and also Eco's Name of the Rose.  A Havard symbologist, Robert Langdon, is summoned by French police to the Louvre, where the chief curator has been murdered.  Langdon initially believes that the police are looking for his help, but with the help of French cryptologist Sophie Neveu, realizes that he is a suspect, and has unwittingly stumbled onto an age-old mystey -- and to solve the murder and prove his innocence, he must do no less than find the Holy Grail.
The book has numerous word puzzles that Robert and Sophie must solve enroute to finding the grail, with the assistance of a rather eccentric British grail enthusiast.  The book hits much of the ground covered by Baigent and Leigh in their conspiracy classic, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", as the two race to discover the secret of the grail and its mysterious guardians, the Prieur de Sion, ahead of ruthless rivals including a devout, yet murderous, albino monk from the conservative Catholic organization Opus Dei.
Many people consider the book anti-Catholic, and one wonders why Brown felt he had to single out a real Catholic organization to provide his villains, but Brown does carefully exculpate the organizations in the end through a series of plot twists, preventing serious religious fury, and no doubt, some lawsuits.
Nevertheless, the book is a rich tapestry of fascinating facts about Leonardo da Vinci, several of whose works figure in the plot clues, as well as taking a stroll through ground Grail conspiracy researchers know well -- the Louvre, St. Sulpice Cathedral, the Temple Church in London, and Rosslyn Chapel.
Devout Catholics will no doubt find the book disturbing, for it is not sympathetic to the church.  It is, however, a fascinating mystery, and  lot of fun for those who love conspiracies.

I loved this book, and I had no idea that Mary Sharratt was a member of my faith-community- over on Livejournal, she's known as Hagazusa, and is the owner of the "Heathen_Goddess" forum, and a well known Witch and Pagan from the U.K., even though she's originally from the States. The smooth adventure and layered mystery of this book- and the subtle presence of the Green Man imagery is no longer any mystery to me. I loved the characters (it made me think of Practical Magic, where Jimmy says his very understandable line "I'm feeling very into sisters right now...") and I did like the ending, even if I thought it might have been a bit long coming. But I'm a author myself, with a talent for length, so I can't complain. Way to go, Mary! It is so very refreshing to see modern Pagans succeeding at their dreams- and becoming successful authors. We're out of the broom closet now!

I loved this book. Not only did it entertain me with a wonderful story that I could not put down because every chapter was great and compelling but it also illustrated most of the theory expressed in Supernatural, Graham Hancock's last book. I can't wait for the sequel to come out.

I highly recommend this book if you have an interest in magicalhistory. Bamberg not only relates his personal experience with manygreats (family friend of Houdini, Thurston, Okito) but has a wonderful storytelling style.  He was quite a character with an amazing life story to share. At times, i found myself laughing out loud. The book beat all of my expectations and is highly recommended.

Great book stating concpiracy theories, that there is a great boogie man called the Illuminati and all of it's secret societies are out to control the whole world through the creation of a one world government, so watch out for it. Actually this is a very good book hard to believe but very entertaining and makes you think maybe the author and all other authors of this type of material are on to somthing. In this book ther are theories upon theories well worth reading about, my favorites are the assination of JFK and that driver had something to do with that, the extraterresrial theories, illumainati theory using religion as a tool for controling the sheeple. The book is filled a whole lot of great information, read this book and learn a thing or two.

i picked this book up and was at once taken to a different place, with sorcery and prophecy. i love the way Ce'Nedra, Polgara, and Liselle can deflate any of the men's egos at any given time! i liked this book so much that i went out and bought the rest of the series, and have read the Mallorean at least three times by now...and i still find it to be good reading. highly recommended!

Boca Raton is a very good book and I have to agree with the other evaluators that the book was mesmerizing and that every chance I got kept reading and finished in one day.  It was amazing what a little memo could do in a pack to animals and humans.  The author is or appears to be a 9/11 conspiracy theorist and also added numerous current blurbs about ISIS and other things.  Of course the major antagonist is a supersecret government agency.  I will definitely read more by this author.

In Book 3 of his "Merlin's Immortals"series, Sigmund Brower takes us on a dangerous quest with Thomas that will severely test his beliefs and ability to stay hidden. These were dangerous times for Thomas. Fifteen men claiming to be Priests of the Holy Grail with power that sways the people of the castle have taken over. Who are they and how will they affect Thomas' quest?

Thomas must escape Magnus, and quickly. These new "Priests of the Holy Grail" are doing wonders and miracles, but Thomas doesn't trust what is going on, and his distrust leads to his discovery of their real identity. They have taken over the castle, which has put Thomas in danger and he must leave quickly. He dressed as a beggar to find the truth, and again to leave, assisted by Gervaise in that escape. His journey to find the truth brings him to the possibility of great power, something many others are searching for. Will the others find Thomas and stop him from finishing his journey? Will good or evil gain control of this mysterious power?

I love series books, and book 3 in this YA series did not disappoint me. I wanted to know what would happen to Thomas and his friends. The Medieval time period of the setting makes it easy to imagine dungeons, secret powers, and dark secrets. If you enjoy fantasy stories set in Medieval times, this book is for you. I received my review copy from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for an honest review.

This is just plain fun reading. A wizard set in modern times. Just awesome. I did not think I would like it because wizards is something of medieval times but this is just too fun. His character "Bob" is just crazy but interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone that does not like medieval times but is intrigue by wizards. This would be it.

The Templar' Last Secret combined Bruno's wonderful cooking,appreciation of wine, and good friends with what is going on today with terrorists in France. It also had fascinating history about the Templars. I was glad that there was a minimum of physical violence. I can't wait for Walker's next Bruno book.

If you love the Da Vinci Code then you will love this too! I could hardly put it down and I just loved the mystery and time difference. It kind of reminded me of Assasins Creed with the present mystery but also having to go into the past to figure out those secrets too.

I find that I love how Jennifer puts a NEW spin on old tales.  This particular book was a great read.  I thought it was well thought out and took me for a nice stroll and introduced me to a new characters and let me know that I would get to revisit some people from books I had already read (and Loved)  The who done it was well done and kept me guessing almost to the end (which is great because I NORMALLY figure it out in the 1 or 2 chapter)  Loved this book and can't wait for the next!
