The Da Vinci Code

Dan Brown


Purchase this title at B&N

After the enthusiasm in the Barn I couldn't wait for this one to hit the bookstores. I bought it and read it instantly and it was nice! Interesting subject, I dig stories about the Holy Grail and stuff like that, well written and catching till the end. All through the book Brown however has a bit of a teachers tone of voice that annoyed me a bit in the beginning, he does come across as a know it all who wants to show off his knowledge. That wasn't a big setback though because he does know a lot about what he's writing about. For me this was the first novel I read about the Goddess, Maria Magdalena, Holy Grail connection, so I don't know if everything he actually states and suggests even hold but it was very entertaining to read and for me a reason to try and dig further into this theory with other novels (thanks for the suggestions Rev).
