The Da Vinci Code

This sequel was not as enticing in the beginning but has a better impact later on, I love the themes that run through this book. Sophie was a good character as was the descriptive personality of Silas. Humanising him was done perfectly. Would definitely recommend

Loved this book! So mysterious, yet fun and informative too!

The Da Vinci Code is a book about a treasure hunt. The head of a secret society is murdered one night in the Louvre. He leaves behind a set of clues that lead Professor Robert Langdon, an expert in religious symbology, and his company , Sophie Neveu on a race through Europe trying to solve a mystery as old as time. A mystery that threatens christianity.

I really enjoyed trying to solve the various riddles before the characters themselves - even managing some of them! It is a very fast paced book that sometimes needed you to have a pen and paper beside you to take notes. I liked the character of Sophie, who did her fair share of puzzle solving, and the way she was used to explain background details to the reader.

I confess I saw the film before I read the book and think that was a good way to do it. Having seen the film and knowing what the characters were like I could then concentrate on the finer detail in the book.

I would read more of Dan Brown's stories as I liked Professor Langdon and the subject of symbology. I like the idea of something looking like one thing and meaning something else too.

To conclude this is an interesting book that I would recommend if you have an inquisitive mind and a lot of spare time!

It boggles with your mind with various codes and brilliantly made outcomes. there is a cliffhanger after every chapter!

I thought the book was compelling.it was a mixture of fact and fiction.The author Dan Brown keeps you guessing as you delve deeper into the mysteries of truth and conspiracy.the more I read ,the more I wanted to learn.make your own mind up.
