The Scarlatti Inheritance
08 September 2006. MSN Class - started reading Robert Ludlum's The Scarlatti Inheritance.
14 September 2006. 22:50 - I finished devouring the book.
I think this is the first RL novel I finished in a short period of time. Not that sure though. After The Matarese Circle, this is the second RL novel that is my favourite.
Elizabeth Scarlatti is my favourite character in this novel. She's just so graceful and intelligent and so clever. I like her strength and power. She reminds me of Kate Blackwell from Sidney Sheldon's Master of the But Elizabeth is better than Kate. I also like Matthew Canfield because he's so ordinary. He was not like those other protagonists in Ludlum's novel. He was so human. I just like it. Andrew Scarlett, Elizabeth's grandson, appeared as a wise young man to me. He was also brave. Such a likable man.
I had fun reading this book. I was just having a little trouble with the manners of speech used. A lot of profane and invective words were used. But then, it was the time of war. Times of trouble. The other thing I had trouble with was the dialogue in German. I don't know German; just very, very few words. Ludlum had some characters spoke in German. There was no translation.
This book, like the other novels of Robert Ludlum, sent me an unwritten message. Only the intellectual can appreciate these.
