The Da Vinci Code

‘The Da Vinci Code’ was an intriguing read and having finished the book in a week, I can vouch for its readability. Dan Brown has done a fantastic job of creating a story that keeps your attention fixed; it is very hard to put the book down. The plot is so thick it is comparable to chilled treacle and it is only in the final chapters that everything comes to a very tidy close. The subject matter involving classic art, historical buildings and the ancient quest for the ‘Holy Grail’ is made interesting by the in depth fictional mystery well placed into the facts. Its amazing that learning about the ‘Mona Lisa’ can come so easily when you want to learn the answers to the questions that have just been asked! The book delivers some controversial ideas about the history of religion but its safe to say that all becomes clear at the end when the ‘mystery’ is solved. This is another book I would have to recommend and its easy to see how this book got to the top of the charts!
