The Da Vinci Code

A Novel

De: Dan Brown

Narrado por: Paul Michael

While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion, a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

Robert Langdon returns in The Lost Symbol, Inferno, Origin, and The Secret of Secrets (coming soon)!

Great!

I loved this book. I couldn't stop reading it. It makes you want to read more of it.

The Davinci Code

Found the book at first a hard read but once the story started to
unravel found it riverting and almost impossible to put down. Loved it!

Great Listen

It was hard to stop listening to this book. I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next!

Very well researched and inspirational

I recommend this to anyone, especially if you, like me enjoy conspiracy theories, and controversial theories of religious authenticity.

who else was shouting the answer?

An amazing fast-paced action novel, loved it. But I'll be damned if that last puzzle wasn't way too easy. I'm not gonna spoil it, don't worry. Let me just say that I spent a few chapters yelling a five letter word at the characters and declaring them all idiots for not getting it. Yeah, that knocked off a whole star from my review.

Book & Movie

The audio version of this is good. It helped to fill in some gaps that were left in the movie version. The person reading this book held my interest enough that I didn't want to stop listening. Makes me want to rewatch the movie to understand the gaps of information that we weren't told in the movie.

bad pronunciation

for such a huge bestseller, you'd think they could afford to get someone who could properly pronounce the names of people and places in the book. this was a painful distraction from a great story.

Captivating Thriller

The Da Vinci Code is an action packed thriller that constantly keeps the listner on his/her feet with all of the riddles and twists and turns that the novel puts forth. If you like a good thriller that forces you to think, then the Da Vinci Code is for you.

A little overrated...

Considering how this book has sold like 80 million copies is unbelievable. It's already pushing the sales of the top mystery of all time: And Then There Were None; and that sold 100 million and was published in 1939. It's the skeptism about the story of Jesus that has attracted the massive sales.

Despite this, the book is pretty solid. It is certainly overrated, but it's not a bad story at all. Qualms I had with it are when you cannot tell when Dan Brown's little history lessons have any bit of truth to it or not. The story is filled with half-truths and outright lies mixed with actual facts so you cannot get any real history out of this. Also, I was getting so irritated with the lengths many of the characters went through to keep a secret (like you don't know what it is) that no one had ever revealed. The characters doing this are like 10 year olds who say "I have a secret" but don't reveal it because it makes them feel special. The book is entertaining, but overall the story is stupid. It will most likely be an enjoyable read though.

the telling is as rivoting as reading the book

has a interview with screenwriter and a speech by author at the end. I've seen the movie and read the book and still binge listened!
