The story has lingered in my mind long after completion. A lovely story and very well written. It had every thing included .... excellent character development, humor, romance intrigue, morality. A thank you to the author for creating such an interesting story!

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

This book kept my interest from the first sentence until the last. Along with being a very entertaining mystery/adventure, it has so many layers to it and so many thought-provoking questions that go back to our basic beliefs. I went to Google as reference a number of items.

The characters were so well defined and believable. I really cared about what happened to Luciano and the chef.

I would definitely read another book by Elle Newmark

Rated of 5

One chapter (The Book of Amato) seemed out of place. Most of the story flowed forward and this one was the narrator suddenly as an adult talking to another about his maestro. While it helped to have more information about the maestro, it led me to expect more flashbacks.

A good book for Ms. Newmark's first novel.

Rated of 5

On the downside, there are a few parts where careful editing and cutting of wordiness would have benefited the flow of the story. As far as the central concern of the book, which is the secrets contained in the Book of Mischief, it promises more than it delivers. But overall it’s an engaging read.

What could be better that a book about a book?
