THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Now a major motion picture starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini

What happens behind the closed doors of the Roman Catholic Conclave? The mysterious rituals surrounding the congregation of cardinal electors responsible for electing a new pope is brilliantly researched by Robert Harris, bringing an age old tradition to life. Set against the swirling of religious theory comes an explosive political drama that will have you on the edge of your seat.

The Pope is dead.

Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, 118 cardinals from all over the globe will cast their votes in the world's most secretive election. They are holy men. But they have ambition. And they have rivals.

Over the next 72 hours, one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth.

Unresolved

While the plot circles around the conclave, the end result was not satisfactory in the least. Felt rushed, and butchered.

Rushed ending left me dissapointed

I did not see that ending coming at all. I had worked on several theories of how it would end, but not that one. In my opinion, this was a missed opportunity by the author to really make an impact. His ending, although interesting and surprising, felt rushed. It makes you feel like the author just wanted to throw something outrageous and didn't think it through. another reviewer said it was 'unresolved', and I agree.

I wanted to read the book before the movie came out because as we all know, books are usually better than the movie. In this case, I hope the movie is better.

the narrator did an excellent job, so he gets 5 stars.
