I don't get it. I read the book, and thought it was really stupid.
Just too easy......
"You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your..............."
I thought he did a good job of weaving a story around a bunch of conspiracy theories that have been around a long time. It's not fine literature, but fine literature usually doesn't amuse me as much.
I got to 100 pages or so and stopped. It was too much - too many coincidences, the protagonists too lucky in their ability to solve mysteries, just basically too unbelievable. You can take the breakneck speed factor and overdo it, which I believe was done in this book.
I thought it was entertaining.
What I find stupid and borderline scary are the people who somehow think this novel has a basis in reality, kind of like the same people who thought that Oliver Stone's "JFK" was a documentary.
I'll wait for the paperback version. Or maybe used at amazon.
