The Templar Legacy: A Novel145 reviews Steve Berry Ballantine Books, 2007 Interesting. The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry is an enjoyable read. The story covers all the same old Templar histories, but the author's added insights especially on the conflicts found in the gospels is refreshing. That truth is not the enemy of faith is once again proved out in this story of modern day ...             Die Trying (Jack Reacher, No. 2)117 reviews Lee Child Jove, 2006 Lee Child + "Jack Reacher fights a Montana Millitia" + Another Reacher classic + 24 on paper             Dracula10 reviews Bram Stoker Back Bay Books, 2005 Amazing! + Classic Pulp Fiction + Super Reader + Fangs: The Original + A True Classic             Great Expectations (Penguin Classics)121 reviews Charles Dickens Penguin Classics, 2002 Great + Must Read Victorian Novel + A Novel of tears as well as laughter.

I liked this book so much, especially with the movie adaptation. As is often the case, the psychological insight of the original book was invigorating to read.
