162. Title & Author: The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer (435 pages)* Genre: Fiction—Thriller
Completed: 23 October 2010
Summary & Review:
For centuries secret groups have been battling to find the Book of Lies, the mark of Cain given to him after he committed the world’s first murder. Now, Cal and his father, a man he hasn’t seen for 19 years, must find the legendary item before the killer on their tail finds them.
The plot of this book was kind of all over the place, from Cain and Able to Nazis to Superman comics. It felt like Meltzer’s attempt at really tying all these various happenings together was pretty tenuous and not quite believable. It was just such a weird amalgam of stories and themes that I couldn’t decide what this book really was.
Rating: 5.5
