(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

Self discovery, shmelf discovery. This is my reading adventure through the library, pure and simple.

The Alexander Cipher by Will Adams

   If I had more free time this week, I would have happily gobbled up this book the first day. Intelligent, well-spun and well-wrapped, The Alexander Cipher is a good read. Daniel Knox, archeologist, finds that doing the right thing comes with a definite price, especially when the right thing runs counter to the wrong person. Both a thriller and an archeological dig, this book meets this reader's reading expectations.
  

Favorite Quotes:

"He scowled to put himself in the right frame of mind for delivering a proper tongue-lashing..."

"The place was coming to life like a gigantic yawn."


Overall Opinion:

The characters are fleshed out, three dimensional and realistic. The plot has enough twists and turns to satisfy thriller seekers. The ending doesn't disappoint. The parallel stories blend well.


Rating:

Cause it's thriller, thriller yeah!
