Well, I’m on a roll here now.  First there was The Rule of Four - which I might add was a great book - and now The Da Vinci Code.  I’ve listened to both books this week and I’m completely taken by them.  They both captivated my attention so well. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed The Da Vinci Code as I’ve heard so much about the book since it’s release.  I understand now why the Church was so up in arms over the book and what was contained within.  I’m not a religious scholar so I will withhold judgement as to whether I believe there is any truth to the assertions that Dan Brown makes.  I do, however, think there could be some truth there.  I highly reccomend this novel to anyone with an interest in the possible secrets of the church or anyone into a good mystery novel which will keep you on the edge of your seat.  These two novels - The Da Vinci Code and The Rule of Four - could be made into great movies if done properly.  I guess we’ll wait and see about that one. With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history. A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu’s grandfather’s murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England, and history itself. Brown (Angels and Demons) has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown’s hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture’s greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa’s smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown’s conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought. --Jeremy Pugh http://www.fiercepoet.com/index.php/331/
