(189) Book of Secrets by Chris Robertson

Out of this book, I enjoyed the different portions of the Black Hand. Either the author managed to find different stories of the same theme from different centuries, or he creatively wrote them in different styles.

As to the three individuals who could travel through time, they sounded like angels. But they seemed eminently modern in the way they talk. I rest in the premise that people read to relax and to escape from a mundane life, hence fantasy and science fiction are popular. Just like fairy tales, there is not much point for anyone to apply logic to analyse them. The ending seemed dangling, he managed to obtain the book of secrets, but did he manage to write the article he set out to research? After that, what is he going to do with the book? If I could provide my choice of the ending, he would auction off the book, then he need not work for an extra day in his life. If he enjoys writing, perhaps he would write as a hobby.
