Can't wait to read it. It must be more interesting than I can imagine with lots twists and turns. Newton being Christian caught me off guard . Thanks for the review.I am yet to shift my mind from the science lab to church.

I was vaguely reminded of Dan Brown's books when I read your review. I love scientific based stories and even more so, when they include the crime/thriller genre as well. Thanks for making this sound so intriguing. I have added it to my bookshelves and will read it as soon as I can!

This book sounds interesting. Isaac Newton studying the bible isn't too far fetched of a concept, though it's not something I would tend to think about concerning him. I'd ask whether it was out of faith in Christ or ulterior motives. I instantly thought of The Da Vinci Code when reading the title as well. A little gimmicky in that regard, but your description of the novel still sounds like there is more to be gleaned here. Nice review! Thank you for the book recommendation.

The book cover alone is enough to get me salivating. I love the concept of the tale and can't wait to see what the characters are up to. I'd like to see Newton's thoughts on the Bible. Thanks for this lovely review.

What an amazing review. Like you, I was unaware that Isaac Newton was an avid Bible reader. Such a unique story line!

It is quite interesting what goes on in the minds of human beings. Thinking that they can fulfill prophecy and hasten the return of Christ especially that they have money. The author is a genius!

The book seems like it has many interesting twists and turns--with impeccable writing to boot

This book might have more mysteries than I had imagined.

I am quite intrigued to read this novel after I have read the review. I did not find a preview of information on the book, so the review was more than adequate.

I love that this book has a treasure trove of information pertaining to spirituality and science, because I most definitely believe in a mixture of the two, and its rare to find.

I will be downloading this book.

"The Newton Code" by Liam Fialkov - an intriguing mystery with parts of the story dating back to 1005 BC and including investigating Newton's writings about the bible. Fiction with a factual underlay. Thanks for the excellent review.
