Finally got a chance to read this, since it came out in paperback. Boy, has he made a lot of money, not only for himself, but for his agent, editor, publisher, and all the hanger-on authors trying to ride his coattails. I say, "Good for him."
Laurie loved the details in this thriller, and he has certainly done his research. He has the thriller genre mastered. The mystery, though, borders on lying to the reader, something I dislike intensely. Brown intentionally obscures or hides facts from the reader to keep the mystery of who the "teacher" is. Some people love that, some people feel cheated.
As far as the grail mysteries and the big controversy surrounding the book, remember this is a novel. It's fiction. Get a grip!
