The Eighth Scroll

(Review by Julie)
The Eighth Scroll by Dr. Laurence is an interesting novel that follows a teenager, Michael, into adulthood as he tries to solve a mystery surrounding the origins of the dead sea scrolls that got his own father killed.  I like the detail in the writing and archeologist tilt to the story- it gives the story enough authenticity that made me do a double take and even flip through my Bible to make sure I hadn't missed some of the major accusations the main character makes.

The story line was a little slow at first but after a few chapters it picked up and got in my head, so it was a fun read.  I found the whole thing a bit like The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown but I can't help but think the author himself is convinced that there's some truth to his story.
