It’s the da Vinci code, if it actually had da Vinci as a character and also was good. 
The politics and the intrigue are on full display and I love it.

This is a really weird, really bleak book. Like, yeah it’s about Noah’s Ark but there’s just no hope. Everyone in this book is utterly selfish and amoral. Noah’s family has not a single care about the entire world dying. There’s a lot of really vague sex scenes, like you don’t even know that sex is happening until like 4 pages later.

Very compelling. Reads like YA in spots but I blazed through it in 2 days. Nice slim read for a weekend binge.
