Query: It Almost Had Me

This is a good read, except for an overly long and flabby mid-section.The first third of the book held promise, especially with an original 'take' on the Templar secret.This, however, was killed by the self-involved, sketchy main characters and a politically correct, lawsuit-proof ending.The movie would be a good property for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They might be able to make the characters worth following.
