Eu adorei, faz bem meu estilo e achei incrível. É meio trash no início, no sentido que pessoas morrem de maneira não muito delicada e digamos que é bem detalhado... Mas ele apresenta as "revelações" (do que você quer saber - tipo, quem matou fulano?) muito bem, normalmente elas são apresentadas aleatoriamente e na maioria das vezes não faz nem sentido...
Digamos também que você tem que ter uma mente aberta pra ler um livro que nem esse porque ele força a barra com os católicos.
Na verdade o livro é só uma grande discussão entre iluminismo e criacionismo, mas é bom... Tipo, muito bom!
