the da vinci code is masterful
The Da Vinci Code is an awesome, off your seat historical thriller that will keep you guessing until the end and when you think you know what is going on, it will flip upside down. The book is about a symbologist named Robert Langdon, who is strangely invited to have drinks with the famous curator, Jacques Sauniere, after Langdon's lecture. Saniere never showed up. When Langdon was back at his hotel in France, he is called by the judicial police and is taken to where Sauniere's body was found, murdered. The captain of the judicial police thinks he might have had something to do with it. After investigating for any clues at the crime scene, a woman named Sophie, who actually is the granddaughter of Sauniere. Secretly Sophie tells Langdon he is in danger and they escape from the police because of how suspicious they are. For most of the rest of the book, they follow the clues left by Sauniere, leading to what they think could be the Holy Grail or the location of the forbidden Lady Magdalene. Throughout the book they are helped and betrayed at the same time, and there are times where they are helpless or in complete control. The book has so many twist and turns, that you sometime have to read parts over again to understand it, but in the end, everything makes sense. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone looking for a good book involving history, art, corruption, secret symbols, secret organizations, murder, and one hell of a treasure hunt. This book is only one of the few books that is over 400 pages and at the same time a major page-turner. There was no part of this book that made me bored. It gave me a new respect for art and such people as Leonardo Da Vinci, who in many ways was a huge influence on the way we live now. Me being a picky reader can tell you this is a book worth buying and is so enlightening and crammed with information, that it truly is among the greats.
