( )Ĭhris Titus is a native of Boston, Massachusetts. But I felt this book attempted to educate the reader at the expense of the story. If you are looking to get a broad understanding of Chinese medicine, you might like this book. Instead, this book had none of the feel of Da Vinci Code, so I was a little disappointed by that. I was expecting more of conspiracy theories, messages hidden in plain sight, etc. The description of the book compared it to the Da Vinci Code. This is fine if you are expecting a text book, but I was expecting a good, entertaining story. I felt much of the book was like reading a text book on Chinese medicine. It didn't seem to flow with the first part of the book in Prague. Suddenly we are in the middle of a plot to kidnap and re-educate doctors. I did feel that this portion of the book was too abrupt. This is no easy task, as most medical doctors find it hard to look for anything other than pharmaceutical answers. The next part of the book concerns Steve, and his quest to bring together Chinese medicine and American Medical doctors. It made me want to travel there, to see the same sites as Paul. I loved the descriptions of the city and the culture in Prague. He begins an investigation into the death, but he really doesn't get very far. The death is treated like a suicide, but Paul does not think his brother would have killed himself. He has traveled to Prague after his brothers death there.
