A Hollywood movie, July 3 2004

That was my feeling when I finished reading the book, a Rambo or 007 hero trying to save the world in 6 hours!

I should say that the historical and religious explanations were incredible, Mr. Brown made all these intrict connections and sometimes it was hard to draw the line between fiction and reality.

Through her investigations, Smith tackles various… Read more
