re: Summation - a beach book with sloppy history thrown in
I agree that it's not literary genius but it certainly is entertaining in the way any other action/adventure novel is. What I enjoyed about the read was seeing how close to "Holy Blood/Holy Grail" it came in the conspiracy it centered around.
In that aspect, it didn't let me down. The theories put forth in it all were pretty much out of that interesting book of research. I understand the temptation of HGHG's authors to sue but they really never had a case going after a fiction novel.
