The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown
I finally read The DaVinci Code after all these years of avoiding it and I loved it. I read it just about straight through in two days. I was so sure I wouldn’t like it because I don’t care about any religious secrets but it’s really just a great thriller, well plotted and with good characters and fast moving. So I’m glad I finally read it.
I can see why all those other books sprung up about it. It’s tempting to find out which pieces of it are true and which he made up. I happened to have a book of famous paintings sitting next to me while I read it and so I looked up the paintings as they were mentioned. Some of what he says is true but most is exaggerated.
