Great, great, great! This book is so well written, the plot is so masterfully told, that you get trapped from the first page. Although it is full of information the reader never bores, just learn about unbelievable facts, historical facts. While I was reading, I felt like being at the teather watching all these characters performing in front of me. I loved it.

I could say that it is not boring. It has beautiful descriptions of buildings and landscapes. The plot has elements of our modern world. I kept on reading in spite of unnecessary sexual scenes, cartoonists characters and historical inaccuracies. But when I get to the part of a poor student buying an icon of XIV century; when I read the old antiquarian saying that he would receive several icons frequently I couldn't continue. Another book written for people with no culture. Another bad editorial team.
