The Secret Supper (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" just about any book pretaining to the last supper will get my attention. "

" I liked it. Made a nice follow on to reading the DaVinci Code but it's nowhere near as gripping as Dan Brown's series of thrillers. "

" I probably would have liked this book much more if I had been able to really get into it instead of reading it in bits and pieces over a long time. "

" This was an interesting book. It wasn't a huge literary accomplishment, but it was entertaining. Much like DaVinci Code, so if you liked that, you would probably enjoy this. There isn't as much adventure, though. "

" This book is the amazing historical thriller of Leonardo da Vinci and his famous painting. "

" couldn't even get past the first CD of this audio book "

" It took me awhile to become connected to this book but I ultimately enjoyed the intricacies of the tale. The verbage is a little odd, or stilted, to my ears due to the book being in Spanish in the original. The research is superb and the story satisfyingly suspenseful. "

" an interesting and intriguing look at the profiles of the models used in the painting...all alleged to be heretics "

" A book about Leonardo's last supper fresco in the midst of the inquisition. "

" Great premise, terribly written story. "

" i got bored mid-way. wasn't really my cup of tea. "

" I felt this book was very good with a suprising ending I strongly recommend it for someone that likes historical thrillers with a puzzle to figure out. "

" This book is kinda Da Vinci Code - esq. It's a fun quick read and includes some real historical figures. A good read. "

" Disappointing, kind of like DiVinci Code but not nearly as good "

" I really enjoy historical fiction because it makes you look at at art or idea's or knowledge from a new angle. It put's history in context. This story was well told and engaging. "

" Loved it. Keeps you guessing throughout the whole book. And even when you think you have it all solved about 2/3 of the way into the book, there are still a few twists and turns left for you to discover. "

" Just start reading.... "

" interesting, fascinating but just not exciting... but if you go about it as a magazine article detailing the Last Supper, makes you really look at the work of art in a different light. "

" Great .... "

" super like...just like dan brown, the author (javier sierra) knows what a great story is. "

" This is a serious book with lots of things to think about. It is about the Savior and his life here. It is a very heavy book to read and it has so many innunedos to think about. "

" leaves you wondering often times...is this fact or fiction?? :) "

" Seems that this secrets-hidden-in-artwork mystery is based more on history, which made it slightly more interesting, but I found it to be a dull version of abother Dan Brown type book. "

" Less complex than "The Da Vinci Code", but still satisfying. Listened as a Book on CD, reader unfortunately not distinct enough in his rendering of characters. "

" Maybe it was because the audio book was abridged but I was kind of disappointed. Some parts were really intriguing and made me want to do further research but some parts were deathly boring. "

" Clever and entertaining. This book is less surreal Da Vinci Code. The theories are very interesting and some of them can even sound authentic at moments. I am not crazy about his writing, but was worth the read. "

" I found this book to be a bit confusing. A lot of characters, sometimes difficult to keep track of. Although I LOVED the premise of the story, I found myself wishing that the author spent more time developing and confirming the mysteries presented in the novel. "

" Great plot, could have been a super read, a bit of a meander though. "

" Loved this one. Excellent translation and made DaVinci Code look lamely researched. "

" Strains of Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" are played throughout this book. One could say it is a combination between the thinking man's Dan Brown and the common man's Eco. If you like a more cerebral mystery set against a (fairly accurate) historical backdrop, check this one out. "

" The story of Leonardo DaVinci's Last supper as an image of a heretical (to the Vatican) religion based on the Agnostic gospels. Great plot told by a thoughtful, consciencious Inquisitor with character of all things. I learned a lot about this famous painting. "

" entah terjemahannya yang kurang enak, atau gw yg lemot baca ini yah ?? gak terlalu mudeng soalnya. Masih enakan dan brown atau ressurection, misteri kain kafan yesus dll nya... "

" This is a fantastic read! It was hard to set down because it was so intriguing. The storyline is smooth and well-developed! I would recommend this to people who are interested in historical fiction that likes to solve puzzles. "

" I listen to this on CD and I think it will be one of the ones I will go back and read because there is so much history that I had a hard time not wanting to look up facts as the story went along. "

" I really enjoy historical fiction because it makes you look at at art or idea's or knowledge from a new angle. It put's history in context. This story was well told and engaging. "

" Ottimo Non è lo scopiazzamento del Codice da Vinci. Lavora bene Sierra che si rifà molto alla storia. Meno fantasy più realtà , una lettura che appassiona e quindi consiglio di comprarlo o farselo prestare. "

" I enjoyed this book not what i was expecting or had in mind but it was ok "

" .. nicely written and easy to follow ... a good read .. and interesting thoughts "
