The Da Vinci Code
User reviews
This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat as you watch the incredible journey of Harvard symbologist, Robert Langdon, on his chase for the Holy Grail. This book is amazingly describing and you can tell how much research was put into every detail by Dan Brown. You watch the plot unfold from the view of an all-seeing eye, looking into the thoughts of each character. The thoughts of each character are describe but there is just enough info given so you can understand their position on current events, but not long term things, which are used to surprise you in the final moments of the book.
The story starts off from the view of Robert, who is on a trip in Paris, giving lectures on his to-be-released book. He is thrown into an intricate mystery involving the curator of the Lourve, his cryptologist granddaughter, Sophie, and two mysterious groups named the Priory of Sion (the good guys), and Opus Dei (the bad guys). With the help of Sophie and an old colleague of his, Sir Leigh Teabing, he must race to unravel the mystery of the Priory and find the Holy Grail, before Opus Dei destroys it. The way that the parts of the plot are interlaced just blow your mind in the end. There is a lot of religious conflict and conspiracy in the book, of which Im not sure what is fiction or not, but either way its extremely intriguing how Dan Brown all put together in the end of the book. I am a Christian and the way that the religious scandals are presented makes me wonder a little. It just seems like everything falls right into place and leaves you thinking, Wow, how did I miss that. And believe me theres more than just one occasion where this occurs. This book is most definitely a thriller that will keep you turning pages like theres no tomorrow.
The DaVinci Code has been made into a movie. Though it was a great movie, it was an even better book so I recommend that you read the book first. The movie does skip out on a few parts that are pretty interesting to people like me. All I can say is that I applaud Dan Browns work in both of these works of art. They are just breat-taking.
This book left me in suspense at every page. You can tell the author really put some thought into the plot of the book. I don't normally read a lot of mysteries, but this one broke the mold and I couldn't put it down. if you want something that will keep you thinking, I would recommend reading The Davinci Code.
Yes, I did read this book because it was a movie, but no, I haven't seen the movie. After discussing the book with my mother, however, we agreed that they were quite different.
Still, though I haven't seen the movie, I can tell it isn't comparable with the book, because this book was amazing.
I learned a lot of new things, and it was just so amazing to learn, to realize, to discover.
This is another book with Robert Langdon and I read he hasn't lost his Robert-y touch. He meets Sophie, which was very interesting.
I don't remember much of everything in this book, but I think the beginning was boring, because I had no idea what was happening, but as the story progressed, I was focused entirely on the story.
This was a wonderful book and is now officially recommended by the great me! ^^
I read this book a few years back and even though it was for adults, I found it really good. The self-injury was maybe a bit awkward, but there was not much of it. The plot is very well thought out and clever. Everything clicks in place and there is a lot of research put into it. It's a very engaging read and I found that I couldn't put it down once I started.
The Da vinci code is about protecting the true story of Jesus and the wholy grale. The story is really great because you could actually believe all of it really happened and it gets you thinking.The story is well-written with a couple of plot twists that turn the whole story around.
It keeps it interesting until the last page.
this book is full of cryptic messages which the lead characters have to figure out and they lead to the wholy grale in the end.
Although The Da Vinci Code is a very controversial book, it is a fun book filled with suspense, mystery, and adventure, with a very shocking ending. I also learned a lot of interesting facts while reading this book, which just makes the book seem even more realistic. But I don't think people should change their beliefs because of this book, because it's FICTION.
Not only was this book interesting and informative, but it was entirely original and action filled as well. i literally could not put this book down after starting it and learnt a lot from it. also, tied into the historical part of it was a lot of subtle romance and action. very very enjoyable.
The Da Vinci Code is the second Robert Langdon novel by Dan Brown. In this book the curator at the Louve is murdered by an assasin from a radical church group. Robert is once again dragged into the case. The curator left clues throughout the museum and around Europe. Robert and the curators granddaughter team up together to uncover the truth about a centuries old cult which was created on the beliefs that Jesus was human, loved a Mary Magdelon, and had a child. The church covered up all this evidence and destoryed any proof of it because they didnt want Jesus viewed in this way. The secret group protects the power and sanctity of the sacred femenine, which the church has tarnished throughout history.
Many mysteries revolving around these ideas are uncovered and many new contreversal ideas are also proposed.
The book is extremally interesting, especially if your highly relgious.
No matter what your opinion on relgion, God, or the church is you should check out this book right away, it will keep you intreged until the very end.
