Read this about a year and a half ago, borrowed it from a friend and been wanting to read it since I saw it on the book store. It seemed that I had great expectations and this book didn't really meet it. Story was promising, I've always liked historical fiction and reading about them, but his writing style lacks a certain pull. Some of his one-liners at the end of the chapter are supposed to be page-turners but they didn't really compel me to do so. It's an average read, research was thorough although I really hate how he names his villains like cartoons. It could've been written better the way he did with The Third Secret, which was surprisingly fluent. I have to give him credit for the suspense, though I've read better books but still, suspense and action and all, it didn't keep me at the edge of my seat. (  ) yurioujo | Oct 11, 2009 |  I already read several Steve Berry books before, so I knew what to expect. Berry writes adventure novels, lot's of action, a historical mystery and some love. They are historically inaccurate, they are no literary master pieces, but they are fun quick reads. This one covers the election of a new Tsar in Russia, where our lead character, Miles Lord, a black American lawyer, has to find the Romanov closest related to the murdered Tsar Nicholas II. Of course there are groups in Russia who try to stop him, while he and a lady friend try to solve an 80 year old mystery. Fun ans suspenseful. (  ) divinenanny | Sep 17, 2009 | This book was very excited and elicited the same feelings that I got when reading The Da Vinci Code. It is in the same vain, a historical-mystery-thriller type book, and it is a page-turner. This book interested me because I know little about the history of the Soviet Union and Russia; I learned a lot from this book. (  ) cpeacock | Jul 13, 2009 | Gripping suspense from the very first page. Should be made into a movie with Denzel Washington as the main character. Miles Lord is a black man who is an American lawyer in Russia, and when he is attacked, his search leads him to an old secret about the Romanov family. nolak | Jun 25, 2009 | Ever since the Romanovs were executed in 1918, we've had endless conspiracy theories about who survived (if anyone) and I am surprised it's taken until now for a major author to produce a novel about it. "The Romanov Prophecy" is actually quite a good piece of work, well researched and well written, although you know how it is going to end. I would have liked to have seen one of the Romanov's still alive in 2007 (now there would have been a shocker of an ending!) but I guess that would have been too much of a stretch and mathematically implausible. Despite the all-too predictable ending, this is a great book to read if you like this historical period. (  ) obsessedwithbooks | Mar 21, 2009 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
