Query: I wish I could give it "0" stars.

I am kicking myself for being suckered into reading this book by all of its comparisons to "The Da Vinci Code." It was painful, but the only thing that made me finish it was the fact that I wasted perfectly good money on the thing. Egyptology, history and mystery (the three foremost things touted by the advances for this book) take a far second seat to the drab "hero" who we are apparently suppsed to pity because he consciously makes poor choices throughout his life. Finally, I have never seen a book--even one that clearly contemplated a sequel--leave so many loose ends flapping about. Honestly, there was no sense of story closure at the end and that only compounded the frustration I felt from reading the thing in the first place.
