Davinci code

The writer who has guts to discuss & ready to share about his thoughts which may increase the pressure of others :-) will get into more trouble and will also get more popularity. Like wise, dan brown is one of the well appreciated writer in the recent. All his books are popular and having good sales record. Here I shared a review from my brother about the book from dan brown namely, “Davinci code” - Hari

"The Davinci code" is the second novel of Dan Brown, but gained fame more and before the first ("The Angels and Demons"). The question is whether it deserves it? It certainly does. As all Brown's works do, this novel also starts with a murder. This time it's the murder of the curator of the famous Louvre Museum. The reason for the murder forms the plot. Dan Brown's fictional hero Robert Langdon becomes the prey for the suspect of the investigator Bezu Fache. How Robert Langdon escapes and solves the mystery along with Sophie Neveu (the grand daughter of the murdered curator) forms the rest of the story. As an overview it may seem to be a normal murder mystery. But the elements Dan took for framing the plot leaves us dumbstruck. The way he approached the Fibonacci series, the cryptex and most importantly the famous work of Leonardo Da Vinci "The Last Supper" are astonishing. I don't want to spoil the thrill by revealing the answers for the cryptex, but just think what can you get from the word P.S.? That simple abbreviation becomes a play toy in the hands of the author. Every character in the story has its purpose and certainly fulfills it. Dan doesn't stop with creating thrills, but also has the ability to justify them. The chapters having conversations between young Sophie and her grand father are poetic.

From the starting you may start guessing the man behind the murders. But the real "Teacher", as Dan named him will definitely make you wonder. The crucial part is where the author deals and reveals the secret of "The Holy Grail". All the details the author provided in this novel leaves us with only one question. Are they real? Well, the author solemnly owns the right to answer that. But in the novel he has made us to believe that. As it has come as a motion picture, don't even think of missing the novel. I believe the film can't give you the feel the novel does. Certain omitted parts and edited parts posses a great value in the novel. Dan Brown has proven again he's undoubtedly one among the few creators who provide interesting, intelligent thrillers. If you have thirst for such genres, Go for it.
