The chilling resolution brings together the medieval and the modern aspects of the plot in a twist worthy of earning comparisons to novels by William Gibson and Dan Brown, not to mention those by A. S. Byatt and Umberto Eco. Lev Grossman's Codex is a thriller of the highest order.

manuscript so does the reader fall under the spell of Lev Grossman's
intricate plot and vivid characters.Codex is a rare treat for readers
and bibliophiles."
--MARGOT L I V E S E Y, a u t h o r o f EVA MOVES THE FURNITURE

How delightful that Lev Grossman, in a novel about the mysteries of
narrative, has created a page-turner."
