AND IM FREEE...FREEE FALLLING!

That's about the most accurate description for how I feel right now. I am completly pysched. Pumped up and all hype that this workload is now officially off my shoulders. Sadly I still have a lot of other work in other classes to complete but that's beyond the point. I'm here right now to finish up the massive France treasure hunt that Professor Langdon was taking me on.

To say I wasn't satisified with the ending of the book would be a lie. In all honesty, I would say that overall this was my favorite book out of the five that I read. Yes, it did have a more complex storyline and involved historical things in France that were tough to understand but the journey that Langdon and Sophie went on was really interesting. In a way it kind of reminded me of this Nicholas Cage movie, National Treasure.

The book ends with no assuring conclusion but in the end, Langdon and Sophie end up safe, Sophie actually returns to her family in Scotland. During the reunion with her family she finds out that she is indeed apart of the bloodline related to Jesus and Mary Magdalane. But that's not how the book ends. All happy with a nice sweet ending. No, they had to tease you with the ending with Langdon. So the last few pages talk about how Robert Langdon, back in Paris, deciphers the full entire poem which leads him to a small pyramid built in the ground of the Louvre where as it suggests, he is sure that the grail lies there.

Sadly, that's it though. Brown left the door wide open for anything to really happen and although he did suggest that the grail would be in there, we never found out for sure that it was. Being an intrigued and curious teenager as I am, I looked to see if Dan Brown was writing a sequel to this book and little did I know that he already did and published it. The sequel to The Da Vinci Code is known as Angels and Demons which I guess covers a whole new situation but still involves the main protagonist, Professor Robert Langdon. I guess I'm going to have to read that now. Even though the project is over, it just feels incomplete unless I finish the story.

A huge thanks goes out to anyone who followed my blog this entire time. I truly appreciate what a warrior you are.
