Decent mystery novel by one of my favorite modern authors. Arturo is always a good read, well written and captivating, this plot though doesnt do it for me. Found it hard to get into, definitely not as good as "The Club Dumas".

Very Interesting Mystery novel by one of my favorite modern spanish authors. Reads like a "Da Vinci Code" like mystery adventure, with many plot twists and historical references. Highly recommended if you are a big fan of Alexander Dumas Novels.

Interesting read, leaves a sour taste in your mouth about Eisner and Hollywood in general. Eisner's story has it all high stakes power struggles, underhanded backstabbing career moves and high risk start ups. Disney World can be a not so nice place t...more
