Life is too short to waste time on books not worth the read. In fact, the older I get, the more books get put aside. Sometimes, I'll skip around the book and hope that something reignites my interest (yes, that will happen). I probably would have put this book aside.

The person who recommended it was very adamant that it's the sort of thing I like, so maybe I'll give it another chance.

If I decide to keep reading, I do it until the end whether I like it or not. Very few books I read have two stars or less. Most are between three and four stars, and very few I give five stars.<br />I read a good chunk of one of Steve Berry's books, one about pirates blackmailing Andrew Jackson, and that was worth killing for in modern day for the pirates had descendants with rights under a chapter of the Constitution. I found it implausible, to say the least, I put it aside for a future time; perhaps I'll finish it one day.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-32963118993640284492016-05-10T12:42:35.489-05:002016-05-10T12:42:35.489-05:00Thank you and thanks for stopping by.

The historical aspects that were covered were the most interesting parts of the book. The conspiracy theory aspects not so much.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-28232929073713154962016-05-10T12:25:46.351-05:002016-05-10T12:25:46.351-05:00I also almost always finish a book once I have sta...I also almost always finish a book once I have started it and I agree that I am often rewarded for sticking it out. The Knights Templar are intriguing to me and have sometimes showed up in historical fiction I have read. In contemporary books they seem to feature in conspiracy theory lit. I have serious doubts about conspiracy theories but somehow they are also fascinating. Good review.jhttp://keepthewisdom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
