    THE DA VINCI CODE

    The Da Vinci code is a thriller book


    about a character named Robert
    Langdon and Sophie Neveu. The book
    is written by well known author Dan
    Brown and it is the first book of a
    series about Robert Langdon. It has
    been made into a film and it’s an
    international bestseller.
    The Plot
    The book starts off when Jacques Sauniere, the curator
    of the Louvre museum, is shot in the stomach by a
    monk named Silas and left to bleed slowly to death.
    Silias is an extremist Christian and he is on a mission to
    kill all of the members of an ancient brotherhood who
    had links with the knights templar. Jacques Sauniere is
    the final memeber to be killed, he is also the leader of
    the group and the grandfather of Sophie Neveu one of
    the protagonists in the book.

    The time it takes Jacques to die is time enough for


    him to set up the first of the puzzles to be solved. His
    body is found naked with writings (written by Jacques
    in his own blood) which are meant to be secret coded
    messages to his granddaughter. Robert Langdon is
    drawn into this murder as the Inspector on the case,
    Bezu Faches, believes he is the killer. Sophie, knowing
    Robert is innocent, helps him escape from the Musee
    du Louvre, and the chase (and puzzle solving) begins.
    The Plot cont.
    Langdon and Sophie go to the house of Sir
    Leigh Teabing, a historian, to ask for his
    help opening the cryptex that they have
    found by following Sauniere’s code.
    Teabing tells them about legend of the
    Holy Grail, starting with the historical
    evidence that the Bible didn’t come
    straight from God but was changed by
    Emperor Constantine.
    He also gives evidence that Jesus’ divinity was
    decided by a vote at Nicaea, and that Jesus was
    married to Mary Magdalene, who was of royal
    blood, and had children by her. Teabing shows
    them the hidden symbols in The Last Supper
    and the painted representation of the
    Magdalene. He tells them that the Holy Grail is
    actually Mary Magdalene’s body and the
    documents that prove Mary’s blood line is
    related to Jesus.
    The Ending
    After escaping to England and following
    more clues to find the password to opening
    the cyptex Sophie and Langdon go to
    Scotland, where Sophie finds her brother
    and her grandmother. During the reunion,
    she discovers that her family is the
    bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
    Sophie and Langdon part, promising to
    meet in Florence in a month.

    Back in Paris, Langdon comprehends the poem


    which they found in the cryptex which leads
    him to the small pyramid built into the ground
    in the Louvre, where he is sure the Grail must
    be hidden.
    What I Liked About The Book
    I like the short chapters in the book. 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.
    The Plot was very clever and the
    entertaining. It had me gripped
    from the very first chapter. The
    characters all had different
    personalities but they all worked
    well together, Sometimes having
    different characters makes a book
    feel quite random. I really enjoyed
    the Da Vinci code and I strongly
    recommend it to anyone who
    hasn’t read it.
