Robert Harris Conclave review en recensie
- “Harris does not disappoint .. Regardless of whether you have faith in God, the Church, or neither, Conclave will keep you richly entertained.” (The Washington Post)
- “Unputdownable … Conclave doggedly sets out to provide readers with the fundamental satisfactions of story: of sequence, configuration and organisation.” (Ian Sansom, The Guardian)
- “There are plenty of plot twists, revelations and high politicking to hook readers in … Harris has done his research and the detail is fascinating, especially the ritual of the vote. In the wrong hands the fruit of research or the respect for historical accuracy can slow down a story … Conclave is admirably brisk—and its final twist is great fun.” (The Times)
