The Book of Lies (Abridged) Audiobook

" I enjoyed the codes and webs that connected characters. However, the story moves slowly and is redundent at times. "

" If The DaVinci Code was about Superman instead of the Holy Grail, it would be this book. "

" so, i like dan brown and thought this sounded like it would be similar to his style. umm...too similar in a very sucky way. tries WAY too hard to be dan brown's little protege. "

" By far THE best fiction book I have ever read. "

" After a 19 year absence, Cal Harper finds his father in a park with a fresh gun shot, entangling him in a deadly plot to solve an ancient mystery. It's The Da Vinci Code but replace Leonardo Da Vinci with Jerry Siegel, the creator of Superman, and instead of the secret of Holy Grail, Cal Harper is looking for the Cain's murder weapon, which turns out not to be a weapon at all. Appeals: fast paced; suspenseful; short cliffhanger chapters from alternating perspectives; biblical conspiracy theories, and a partially true the history of the origin of Superman. "

" I read another of Meltzer's books, "Millionaires," and found a common theme. In "Millionaires," the story's climax took palce in Disneyland, in a rather unbelievable manner. In "Book of Lies," the story revolves around Super Man comic books. Once again, it's in a rather unbelievable way. If you can suspend reality, his writing is good and the story moves well. His characters are engaging, and you should be able to read his books. He has written many books, so maybe it's just these two that seemed so silly to me, but I don't think I'll be reading any others to find out. "

" Another great Brad Meltzer book. It was cool with the story of the beginnings of Superman, too. Didn't expect to learn that bit of history!!! "

" A fast, exciting read. "

" Read in 2 days. Very enjoyable. Nice and light but good intrigue and quite interesting plot line. Will look out other things by him. "

" Nice summer read...if you like the DaVinci Code and the movie The National Treasure you will like this book. No Masons or Catholic Church this time it is Nazi's and early Bible. "

" The book ties the creators of Superman comics with the weapon used in the bibical murder of Abel. Now I think most of us never thought about how Cain murder Abel nor do many of us know anything about the creators of Superman. "

" Did not enjoy this read. "

" Kept me coming back for more but the ending was a little anti-climatic. Overall liked the story. "

" Brad Meltzer is a genius writer, Dan Brown meets James Patterson. This book was action non stop untill the last sentence. "

" Excellent book. An intriguing read of how the bibical story of Cain and Able somehow relates to the creator of the Superman comics. It all has a meaning at the end which is simpler than one might think. "

" book -- ok it would make a a good adventure movie. fast and fun and for a general audience. "

" I liked the book. A little off at times, and maybe an abrupt ending, but I did like it. "

" I gave up on this one. The writing was so horribly choppy, I couldn't get past it to ever absorb the story. "

" definatly original "

" Keeps you turning pages, but really lame ending. All the overt sentiment was annoying, but the conspiracy theories were fun to chase. "

" I'm half-way through this Advanced Reader's Copy from BEA and Meltzer has done it again! I can't wait to pick it up after work to see what happens next! "

" I was not impressed by the book. Nice job with plot twists, but the mystery person was easy to predict. The ending was disappointing. "

" Probably worth three stars based on merit, but doggone it, I just really liked it. "

" Family is important. "

" Not bad. A lot kept me guessing, however I was a little disappointed with the ending. "

" .....eh. It was ok, a quick read, a fascinating premise with the connection to Cain and Abel, but I think my 14 year old grandson will appreciate it more than I did. "

" The book reads like a "Da Vinci Code" mystery, linking modern day Cain and Abel characters with the creator of the Superman comics. The action was fast-paced and easy read. I recommend this book if you're just looking for quick entertainment and IPad chewing gum. "

" I enjoyed this book, it kept me interested. This author reminds me of Dan Brown. "

" Interesting story that ties the murder of Abel by Cain to the death of the father of the creator of Superman.........Very good. "

" dan brown has a lot to answer for, this story was interesting liked how he used facts from the superman creators background and put it into a story with the fable of cain and abel the worlds first murderer leading to the runabout chase for what is believed to be the ultimate weapon from god himself "

" This was an intriguing "treasure hunt" read revolving around the Abel and Cain murder in the bible. "

" I especially enjoyed his research on the origin of Superman. Fun reading and not too predictable ending. "

" great book could have read this in 1 day <br/>Cain and Abel the creator of Superman <br/>and a man who helps the homeless <br/>loved the story "

" Interesting concept between Adam and Cain, the first father /son duo. Didn't get the concept at first about Superman,but it was a good story line and about relationships. A surprise ending; recommend the book. "

" Audio Book. I liked it and was interested through the whole book but, it just seemed to lack some pizzazz. I would say the feeling during (excitement) and at the end (kind of let down) was similar to the other Brad Meltzer book I read. "

" The synopsis sounds absolutely ludicrous and I thought there was no way at all to make it work. In fact, I don't even know why I started the book in the first place. But, once I started it, I couldn't put it down, and the absolutely insane plot actually worked for the most part! "

" This book pulled me in right from the start. There were a couple of slow parts, that I guess were needed to explain things. However a fun book to read, totally unrealistic at parts, but all in good fun. "

" Another biblical secrets book. The unique plot does slightly compensate the boring writing and slow pace. The surprising climax does much to give this book 3 starts instead of 1/2. "

" A little slow, But very unpredictable and intense when it picks up in good parts of the book. I think it is slower due to all the different characters in the book that you have to get to know. "
