For instance, Booklist contributor John Green remarked that it is "in many ways more compelling, if a bit less accessible." He praised the fast-paced action, the well-researched background, and the intelligent writing. Because of its focus on secret societies within the Catholic Church, as well as the placement of clues in a classic work, The Last Cato has drawn comparisons to Dan Brown's best- selling The Da Vinci Code. The Last Cato is "a story worthy of Indiana Jones, although the adventurer here is a Catholic nun," according to Lisa O'Hara in Library Journal.
