The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

Robert Langdon, a professor of Religious Symbology finds himself accused of murdering Jacques Sauniere, one of the senior curators at the Louvre. Saved from arrest by Jacques’ granddaughter, Sophie Neveu, he found himself involved in a much bigger conflict between the ancient society of the Priory of Sion and the Roman Catholic Church over a truth so shocking that the world isn’t ready to hear it. The only way for Robert and Sophie to stay alive is to solve a series of clues dating back to the time of Leonardo Da Vinci and expose the secret before the real murder catches them.

I guess I must be one of the few people that haven’t read this book in hardcover :) . This is a great book and the amount of research and plot development is simply amazing. It’s hard to tell where the history ends the fiction begins. I can see some similarities between this book and Blaze’s White Star series, and I guess we’ll be seeing more and more stories inspired by this book in the future. If you haven’t read this book, you probably should.

Details: Anchor Books, 2003

Bottom line: A great book
