While an interesting premise, as other reviewers have said the author tends to lecture on areas that the reader needs to know to follow the conspiracy. I enjoy the characters in these novels, and will definitely read the next book in the series, whenever it is released. ( )

Had high hopes for this but really didn't like it. It was a waste of time. The lead char is a Mary Sue and wish fulfillment of the author. I would rather have read a nonfiction of the author's real experiences than this.

The plot was incredibly linear. There's a clue, he follows the clue to another clue and then another. No real tension. Just blah. ( )

"What do you get if you cross Indiana Jones with Dan Brown? Answer: David Gibbins" -- the review by the 'Mirror'. Well, not quite... it does have some of the makings of Indiana Jones, but less intense. Also some of the ingredients of Dan Brown, but less suspense.

I liked it a little better compared to 'Atlantis' (which contained too much technical information, as far I am concerned). But just like 'Atlantis', the crux of the novel was to get to the archaeological artifact before the 'other party'. I would have classified this book as a thriller, and as such would have expected a little more action. Based on that, I give it only 2½ stars. ( )

Jack Howard está de volta em uma nova aventura. O famoso arqueologista já havia enfrentado situações misteriosas e arriscadas em 'Atlantis' e 'A cruzada do ouro', porém o desafio é ainda maior em 'O último evangelho', e Jack se envolve em mais uma aventura de em sua incansável busca por respostas que os rumos da história insistem em esconder. Agora Jack segue em busca de pistas na biblioteca destruída de Pompéia, o centro da Roma Antiga, até os lugares sagrados de Jerusalém. Sua missão é encontrar as origens do Cristianismo, mas isso implica a revelação de assuntos que muitas pessoas preferem manter em segredo, e farão de tudo para impedir o acesso ao mistério. O último evangelho é um dos escritos mais procurados e esclarecedores de todos os tempos, ou talvez um dos mais perigosos da humanidade. ( )

Interesting history lesson, but fails as a novel. ( )
