The Da Vinci Code - Novel 2003

The Da Vinci Code
by Dan Brown
4.2/5

Another brilliant book by Dan brown featuring one of his favourite character's : Harvard Professor, Robert Langdon. The book opens with the brutal murder of The Louver's (Paris) renowned curator named Jacques Sauniere. The French Police find his body arranged in a symbolic manner and with some random numbers and a baffling riddle written beside him. The police unable to decode Sauniere's message, bring in Robert Langdon (A famous Symbologist) to crack through his code. A cryptologist, Sophie Neveu later joins in with Langdon and they both work together on the investigation. Finding the mysterious truth behind the curator's true identity and discovering a trail leading to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, Robert and Sophie get entangled in a series of historical myths and both of them must decipher Sauniere's message which leads to the ancient truth that has been protected from generations while both of them are on the run for their lives or the ancient truth will be lost forever. A great plot has been set by the author while Sophie and Langdon are caught in a deadly race against time and must find out the truth before the people behind the curator's death.
Hats off to Dan Brown on this one, an amazing job done with a very delicate set of events throughout the book. The Da Vinci Code is not only a very good thriller but also a very informative book regarding the history of Da Vinci's works and the Legend regarding Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.
Dan Brown's book's are truly one heck of a ride and the best part is the duration of the book is roughly 24 hours which keeps its readers on their heels and the events proceed at a very fast pace and it is almost irresistible to take your eyes off even for a moment.
Robert Langdon as always at his best with a gifted talent for history and symbols which makes him one of the best code breakers of all time.
I would really recommend this book to new readers if you're looking for an action packed adventurous ride as it will keep you glued and the amazing turn of events after every chapter just makes you want to finish the whole book in a single go.
Like all of my man's books, this one too has a huge plot twist in the end where your eyes literally pop out and the hairs on your body just won't rest.
