Being that this is the last book of this tremendous journey that I have ventured on for the past weeks, I feel like it is the perfect way to cap things off. I mean of course I'm not done yet but, from what I've read so far, the book is not only interesting and engaging, but it has an actual feasible plot that takes the type of mystery thriller path genre.
Although it is a thriller, I find it nothing like the books that I read from Vince Flynn. Dan Brown to me is a much more sophisticated writer with much more fleshed out and elaborate plot lines. By every means of the word, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is a real page-turner. From page one to page two-hundred I've been on the edge of my seat the entire time.
In The Da Vinci Code, the protagonist of the story is a professor by the name of Robert Langdon. Langdon is called in to France, more specifically the Louvre, to examine a crime scene. But this crime scene is like none other. The victmin, a man named Jacques Sauniere was the museums curator who was murdered by a man looking for the location of the Holy Grail. In Sauniere's last moments he arranged an encrypted puzzle with the blood for the gun-wound and his body so that the information that he obtained could be passed on to someone else.
Langdon believes that he is called in to help solve this puzzle/symbol but they main reason the police called him in is because they believe he is the one who perpetrated this act.
It's killing me right now to have to put down the book to type this response but I thought now would be a better time than later to do so. I'm going to get back to reading so that I can finish up my last post for you guys tomorrow. See you then!
