The Da Vinci Code
It is the 409 pages, 105 chapters thriller by Dan Brown.
Have finished reading it only today. Fantastic page turner ! All those usual cliches apart, this one is a bit different murder mystery. The book has involved tremendous research work of art and history. As the book progresses, author puts reader on a hot treasure hunt where clues are in the art work of Leonardo Da Vinci . Reader can look forward to learn about the hidden interpretations of Vinci's paintings and inventions, breaking these clues with use of symbology and cryptology. One clue leads to another and excitement grows.
Then there is unraveling of startling facts about the history, which may or may not be true, and the secrecy behind them . These information are woven into the main story in such a manner that reader is never bored. Forget the boredom, the reader actually enjoys the stuff and believes in them. Details never become tedious and don't bring the pace down.
There are twists and turns in the fortunes where treasure hunt and frantic chase hot the things up. The suspense is well maintained till the end (though I somehow sensed it). Author has marvelously rolled the facts and fiction together and produced a masterpiece.
Brown may not match the detailing of Alistair McLean or the edge-of-the-seat pace and suspense of Jeffery Archer or the research acumen of Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins, but he has successfully managed to merge all these elements together to keep the reader completely hooked.
A roadside bookstall walla will cost you just 60 bucks, don't bother about the bookshop.
