I picked it up in a lazy afternoon this summer. The back cover promised an entertaining action story along the lines of the Da Vinci Code. I could not get myself to finish it! It was a pain to read. The action was described but not felt. The author seemed to be writing like a pretentious schoolboy. Not only, but the idiosyncratic spelling in some cases when trying to report spoken language was too irritating for me. Maybe it is just me, but at one point one character says:"My speaking Spanish?". From the context I understood it too mean:"Am I speaking Spanish?" but I found it irritating. Not exactly how I wanted to spend a relaxing summer afternoon.
