Avis sur le produitMysteries of Templar Treasure and the Holy Grail : The Secrets of Rennes le Chateau by Patricia Fanthorpe and Lionel Fanthorpe (2005, Trade Paperback)

Entertaining as FICTION. Misleading as non-fiction.

This is a very interesting and entertaining read, but based on conjecture and falsehoods. It is a FICTION novel that has been portrayed as fact. None of this has been proven.
The book is actually drawing on a small connection between the Knights Templar and their connection with the Cathars (a dualist religious sect that was annihilated by the Catholic church as heretics). The connection is weak at best.
The book should be classified as historical fiction. An average read in that category. But as a supposed non-fiction book it rates only a 1 because it is false.
So, average rating, a 2, but that is generous considering the fact that it is really a bunch of lies based on a few facts. I say it often and I will say it again; mixing fact with fiction just makes factual fiction and therefore it is just fiction.Lire l'avis complet...
