The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
September 18th, 2003 by adminA great story. I recommend this book to just about anyone with an interest in Da Vinci, art history, or good thrilling stories. Without giving too much away, the story starts in Paris with the murder of a famous curator at the Louvre and ends very close to one of the biggest secrets that history will never reveal. Along the way it takes you through a fact and fiction mix of secret societies, hidden symbols in art, murder and mystery. The book is loaded with interesting characters, grand plots and conspiracy, and is only occasionaly hijacked by college style lectures to fill in the historical background of the art that’s intertwined with the plot line. It’s a good read. I read it as an eBook on my laptop. Went quickly. I loved it.
It’s still in hardback, but it’s worth the dough. Well, if you don’t pay full price it’s worth it. Otherwise, I’d wait for the paperback or hit your local library. I rarely justify spending $25 on a book that I can read in two nights.
