i got the book and i thought i'd share my opinion on it.

in a nutshell, its doenst reveal much secrets at all.
its more about blaine the man, his heroes (houdini), his experience shooting the 3 TV specials.

I just thought too much emphasis were on his endurance stunts.
It just wasn't my cup of tea.

overall, it was an ok read.

Yeah! I did read this book, overall the book is very nicely made.

Best,
Andrew

not lucky. damn smart. the clues made no sense to me at all.

yeah man.... seriously.. i read thru the clues and just so hard for me to understand... i just dunno how she can put them all together and get to the place and finally found it.

it must have been determination and a lot of self brainstorming and puzzle solving to do. wow! amazing.

:blink:

Holy mother... I've never even heard about this! Damn a hundred grand! That's a lot of shopping (and giving) to do!

But indeed, the clues are messed up, especially the route/root part. I've only known just a handful of people (including myself) who pronounce it root.

looks too much like a National Treasure movie kinda hunt....
