The Da Vinci Code Entry 1

            The book I have begun to read is The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Doing some research I have found that The Da Vinci Code was said to be Dan browns greatest book. It has been translated to 52 different languages and has sold over 200 million copies. Because of this book Dan Brown was voted in the top 100 most influential people by Time magazine.

The book is considered crime fiction and conspiracy fiction. With that and the fact that I saw the movie Angels and Demons, which was based of one of Dan Brown’s books, I would like to predict that this book will revolve around a murder. And if it is similar to Angels and Demons the only way to solve it is through discovering symbols and historical clues that will eventually lead them to what they want. I believe in this book they want to find the Holy Grail and solve the murder that took place. So far in my reading there has been a ton of history that has been explained and its brought up these secret sects. This is all said to be historically accurate which makes the book all the more better.

  1. Joe, I as well have also heard tons of great things about The Da Vinci Code. Everyone who I know has read it has loved it. The plot of the book also sounds interesting. The way that you say the mystery is solved by clues sounds so unique. Also, you said that every historical fact is true. This must mean that the craft of the author is unlike any other. Based on just that I am assuming that The Da Vinci Code will be a great book. Hopefully you enjoy it!
