This book was full of twist and turns. Held my attention and couldn't wait to pick it up again.
Highly recomended.
Do you long for another heart thumping thrill a minute ride similar to the Da Vinci Code? Then, you might consider this excellent book. With narrative lines from 2 different points of view that eventually meet up, this book is a conspiracy thriller with a very personal vendetta. There aren't any huge evil organizations, but there is an unknown mastermind who seems to have an uncanny knack for knowing what all the major players are up to at any given time. This hunt for a previously unknown Shakespeare manuscript is action packed and engaging. Where else will you find the worlds of academia, intellectual property law and Russian mobsters all mixing it up hoping for the big score?
One of the best books I have read EVER. I have like DB for years, but this book grabs you fairly early and everytime you think you know where it is going - - - BAM, off it goes to where you didn't even see it going. Don't start it unless you have time to really hang with it. Every time I had to put it down to do something else my mind had a fit!!
This is a terrific post-apocalyptic thriller (one of my favorite genres). In my opinion, this was better than The Passage.
My only quibble was that I was not able to remember many of these characters, and their relationships, from The Passage. So, you might want to reread that book prior to reading The Twelve.
I’m anxiously awaiting the third and final book in this trilogy.
