This ended up being a letdown for me after very much enjoying most of the book. I won‘t go into why. It‘s worth reading to form your own opinion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

MyNamesParadise I saw the movie and felt the same way. 6d
DrSabrinaMoldenReads @MyNamesParadise I‘m not surprised 4d

Absolutely love this!!!! Edited to add, I like it so far particularly because I am Catholic. I‘m not surprised by the evilness. It‘s expected. (In no way, starting a religious discussion. Just sharing my viewpoint for others who might need the info)

Tamra I want to read it now that I‘ve seen the movie, which I loved! 3w
Andrew65 I really enjoyed this but didn‘t know there was a film of it. @Tamra 3w
Tamra @Andrew65 it‘s in theaters in the US now. 😁 The cast is AMAZING! (edited) 3w
Andrew65 @Tamra Will have to check that out, thanks. 3w
DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Tamra I‘m kinda different. I typically don‘t like adaptations because I want to keep my own personal conception of characters 3w

📕 Yes! Big list maker too.
📕📕 Tagged. What should have been an *easy* conclave was most definitely not. Great book! Have yet to see the movie.

Loved the movie! Beautiful cinematography and fabulous acting. I‘m going to try the novel, hopefully the audio version.

Librarybelle I was wondering about this movie. Good to hear it was good! I need to read the book! 1mo
Tamra @Librarybelle well, I would caution any devout Catholic as it may be offensive. I‘m sure the church is opposed to it. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I‘m definitely curious to find out how the novel compares; the acting is so good it could be one of those situations in which the film is better! (edited) 1mo
DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Tamra FYI and for any others, I am a devout Catholic and have not been offended. I love learning the history and rituals. There‘s bad in every religion. Just my opinion! Not at all starting a religious discussion!!! 3w
DrSabrinaMoldenReads I would think the movie would leave out the explanations about the rituals, history and scriptures associated that the book provides. That‘s what I love. I‘ve learned so much that I did not know already 3w

This meaty tale of Vatican intrigue and conspiracy (set during the middle years of John Paul II‘s pontificate) kept me up late turning pages and Googling all the pseudonyms to figure out who‘s who. A supposed basis in fact amps up the suspense. Fans of Dan Brown thrillers might enjoy this (though its theological perspective is different). I love books that plausibly deliver on insider knowledge of secretive or otherwise closed groups.

I usually really enjoy James Patterson, but not this time. It was just so unbelievable, and nothing moved forward.

Having not had full access to the library over the last year, I have done more #spiritualreading than normal, which I can post now it is Lent. This was an interesting book by Pope JPII based on questions from a journalist for a television interview he was not able fit into his schedule.

Read in 2020. Robert Harris is becoming a favorite of mine. I've read three of his novels now. Each is completely different from the other. I would rate them in this order: 1) Pompeii, 2) Conclave, 3) The Fear Index.
