There are two books I could not finish in the last 5 years and I finished The Last Templar, so I think it is only the third worst I read :-) Reading it, I was amazed it was popular - it is just poor all round, in my (and your!) opinion.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-42012209486113563392015-12-02T03:18:24.855+09:002015-12-02T03:18:24.855+09:00I admire your conviction.
