Summary of this Book...
A Robert Langdon mystery is what this book is touted as. He is a historian and a symbolologist by profession. One late night, he receives an emergency call from the French Police, who call him to decipher a strange code that is found by the side of a murdered curator of the Louvre museum. The deciphering of the code, and his partnership with an intelligent understudy Sophie Neveu is what this fast-paced book is all about.

Although some of the information in the book is said to be true, Dan Brown uses his imagination and creativity to craft a tale of immeasurable excitement, suspense, and above all, intrigue.

Derided by serious historians as a fake, the book, nonetheless, engages the reader from the very first page to the last. A chase that takes our pair to Paris, London, and many other places and culminates in Rome binds us to the book till it is finished!

The book was converted to a movie that, alas, is not half as engaging as the book.
This type of Book is good for...
all lovers of fiction, thrillers and a fast pace.
I especially liked...
The fantastic codes and the way Brown goes about cracking them through the agency of Langdon. I also liked the believable character of Sophie.
I didn't like...
Langdon's smug character that seems to know everything is a bit unbelievable.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Visit all the sites mentioned in the book.
This Book made me feel...
Flush with pleasure at having read a great book.
The author of this Book...
Dan Brown.
I recommend this Book because...
it is, simply put, unputdownable.
Further Comments...
An illustrated guide has also been released. It has the book along with the illustrations and photographs of the places that Langdon and Neveu visit as they race against time to expose and save a major secret that might blow apart the basic tenets of Christianity.
