My favorite book is "The Da Vinci Cod”, this book was written by an American author Dan Brown. This book is my favorite one because it is very interesting, easy to connect with and easy to follow up.
"The Da Vinci Cod" is a thriller fiction book that I find very interesting to read because I couldn't put this book aside till the very end. More over then that, I have read this book several times and each time it was as interesting as at the very first time.
This book is one of the easiest to connect with and understand. It is written in a clear language which affords you to concentrate on a plot and see a picture in front of your eyes rather than letters.
Unlike the fiction books and due to the fact that its plot doesn't have many characters, I found it very easy to follow up with the story.
I have already recommended this book to all of my friends and I hope they would read it because I am sure they would enjoy it as much as I did.
Harvard symbology professor Robert Langdon is awakened in the
middle of the night in his Paris hotel and begins a wild ride that starts
as a murder mystery and soon finds Langdon, with the help of French
police cryptographer Sophie Neveau, finding clues and solving riddles,
many of which were left by artist and inventor Leonardo Da Vinci, that
promise to unlock one of the greatest secrets in Western civilization.
The Book
I am a huge fan of Dan Brown's writing style. There are some who
criticize the short chapters and claim that the character development
is lacking. But, I am no English major and I don't care for critics. I just
want the book to grab my attention and entertain me, and this book
did that.
I find the short chapters in Dan Brown's books enjoyable. I think they
make it feel more fast-paced as the chapters quickly jump to different
areas of the story. I also like the fact that the frequent chapter breaks
make it easy to find a stopping point without having to quit in the
middle of a chapter.
This thriller focuses on Robert Langdon, a Harvard University
professor of symbology, who is in Paris on a speaking engagement.
He is awakened in the middle of the night by the French police and
implicated in the murder of the Louvre Museum curator.
With some help from a French police cryptographer, Sophie Neveau,
who feels that he is being wrongly accused, he manages to escape
and together they embark on a quest to find the real killer.
That quest leads to clues, puzzles and riddles that link back to an
ancient society tasked with protecting the truth about Jesus Christ and
unlock the greatest secret in Western civilization.
Plenty To Think About
While the book is a work of fiction, Dan Brown has done an exhaustive
amount of research to ensure that his explanations and depictions of
history and the ancient societies that are featured in the book are as
accurate as possible. I felt like Brown did a good job of researching
computer encryption algorithms and network security for his
bookDigital Fortress, but that research pales in comparison with both
the depth and scope of the research for The Da Vinci Code.
There is no shortage of critics of Brown's research or his depictions of
events. When you introduce evidence and arguments which, if true,
shake the foundation on which the entire religion of Christianity is
based, there are bound to be skeptics.
In Brown's defense, he is a writer first and foremost, not an art
historian or theologian. In defense of Brown's research, he is not a
heretic who thought up the concepts he describes. There are plenty of
resources that agree with the version of history and events described
in The Da Vinci Code.
Frankly, even an art historian or a theologian in my opinion can not
state for certain how things are. That is why it is called "faith". Brown's
book gives you plenty to think about though in exploring the roots of
that faith.
