At the start of the book....well all through the book I felt like the author was trying to impress the reader with his knowledge. I remember reading things that took up pages but were not relevant in any way to the book. For example they pulled into some place that had a french name and he went on to explain how the name was often translated wrong. It had no bearing on the story and that place had no bearing on the story. I understand that info had a big place in this story but alot of the things he went into didnt. I found myself just paging down and skiping it The author also did not have a descriptive writing style at all. I am used to reading fantasy books where description plays a big part of describing the mood. Brown seems more like he keeps the story moving by throwing info at you and not developing anything except where the story is going. I think this was a plus though because I couldnt wait to turn the next page and really wanted to find out how the book ended! I think everyone who can read should read this book. It explains so much about western culture and so many things that make up our daily lives. Alot of this stuff will just blow you away. I also think that if you are religious you need to read this book because why believe in something if you dont know everything about it I havent been impacted by a book this much since musashi. It wasnt so much of a, wow this was a good book!, as a, wow I cant believe that is for real! In closing I dont think I like the authors style but he did an excelent job of gathering the info and making an interesting book.

this book is the one i am searching for and i feel lucky
