The Da Vinci Code
(Dan Brown)
The Da Vinci Code takes our debonair hero, Robert Langdon, away from his academic life and into a world of intrigue and mystery. Visiting Paris on a lecture tour, Langdon a professor of Symbology, is asked by the local police to help them with their enquiries. The curator of the Lourve, no less, has been found dead in his own museum with Langdon's name written beside his corpse in blood. Never a good thing to have happen to you, especially as the local police chief is happy to accept Langdon as the obvious killer. The curators beautiful Granddaughter and gifted Police Cryptologist Sophie snatches Langdon from the Louvre. The pair then embark on an adventure to prove Langdon?s innocence and find Sophie?s grandfathers killer. In Langdon we have a hero who could easily fit into Indiana Jones?s hat. He is a handsome, knowledgeable academic but not a stranger to the gym. And as all true heroes do, he puts truth, justice and the preservation of world artefacts before his own safety. The Da Vinci Code is simply and skilfully written and will easily find its way to the big screen. The fast paced plot and well-drawn characters grab the reader early in the book and keeps then entranced right to the end. It isn't all action packed ght scenes or romantic sparks between the lead characters. Although these do occur they are in balance and compliment the intrigue perfectly. The story twists and turns nicely and doesn't quite end where you expect it to. Just as you think you know what is going to happen a vital piece of information is revealed, opening up new possibilities for the reader and main characters to consider. Dan Brown has produced a masterpiece of modern literature; well worthy of its best seller status and definitely worth reading.
