 Where's the beef? February 14, 2008
A poor attempt at cashing in on the Da Vinci Code's popularity. I bought this book in the forlorn hope, not of getting a heads-up on Dan Brown's latest whatever, but of gleaning insight into the Knights Templar/Freemason/Mormon connection implied in the book's title. But all the author has to offer is an amalgam of snippets that he's culled from other popular books. That wouldn't be so bad in itself, except that he does not have anything new to suggest or to add to the mix. Waste of time basically. Sorry
 Second guessing Dan Brown January 18, 2007

Excellent read even if Shugart is second guessing Dan Brown. Even if Brown deviates from the ideas expressed in Secrets of the Widow's Son, it can provide a basis for other aspiring writers.
Interesting Masonic history making one interested in knowing more, and wondering just how big a part Masons play in U.S. History.

This is the worst book I have ever read. Shugarts claims to do excellent research, but according to my own inquiries, he knows very little about Freemasonry. The book is about as exciting as the classified section of a newspaper.
Oh no, outguessing the next super-novel May 16, 2006

Definitely, I was lured with an arrogate title referring to the "Widow's Son", as I have been steeped into this field for years, and I expected much new enlightening. Not so. This author better stay in aviation consultation, because he fails miserably in the field of history and its mysteries. All he offers are cliches stemming from a basket full of bibliography. His writing style is so boring, you think an advocate of the Old Bailey in London wrote some preamble for grand-theft auto or in his case, grand-theft aeroplane, or grand-theft literature. What has his and his wife's family roots background to do with anything other than aiming at self-aggrandizement? Give me a break! I am of German background too! And I did publish a book called "Red Cage". He still failed the subject at hand, the Widow's Son. This book is not worth ten cents because nothing earth-shaking is being revealed that anyone cannot read in the other books of his bibliograpy, except this author's greed is revealed towards the success-story of Dan Brown, hoping to tap into some big dollars with this mediocre piece of art. I do not condone to this kind of literary failure.
