I have currently finished reading "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. It is about the when the curator of the Louvre museum is mysteriously killed inside the museum by an unknown assassin, and a clue has been left by his body, that he wrote in his final moments, leading to a secret that he wants to be kept and not forgotten, as he is the only one who knows it.
Thus leads to Robert Langdon being called in to help desypher what the curator had left, and he is informed by a cryptologist that Robert himself is being blamed for the murder, thus leaving Robert franticly running through Paris with the cryptographer, Spohie Neveu, trying to figure out what the curator wanted to keep a secret so that no one would go looking for it.
I would recomend reading this if you like books that are fictional, but have a lot of facts and historical things. This book is full of them, and it is a very good read; and I think that if you wanted to read it, or see the movie based on it, that you should.
I have only seen the movies and frankly they were not that good. But this was probably just a case of 'the movie is never as good as the book'. Maybe I should read the book...
ReplyDeleteI sense that this book has a plot to be admired... Definitely something to check out...
ReplyDeleteI thought that this book was an interesting read. It combines different elements of historical fiction and mystery. As for the movie... it wasn't very good. Most books do not turn out very well as movies.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to read this book, thank you for the recommendation.
