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)!

It's all in the trip

This story grabbed me immediately. The story flows well and the frequent sidebars that explain many common, modern customs are fascinating. The plot twists are unexpected (as a good twist should be). Getting to the ending was very entertaining; the ending itself was not very satisfying but plausible.

Over all, I am very glad I heard it.

Wow...

Is it truth? Is it fiction. The lines blur on this tale of the oldest story in Christian History. I will say that the accent of Sophie started to get on my nerves toward the end... Excellent read. Could not put it down!

How can it not be 5 stars

One of the best stories ever written. As a former Catholic it gave me another point of view and reason to pause. Must be the true Catholics that gave it for stars.

The greatest fiction story ever told.

I loved the novel, the movie, and now I love the audiobook. Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors. I love Robert Langdon he's the best thing since Indiana Jones. I've loved all his adventures. I hope Dan Brown writes more.

A very good book.

A great book which I really enjoyed listening to. The story is very intriguing and it unfolds perfectly: it is very easy to get along with the characters and having the feeling of ?really being there?. The only drawback I found is the high number of stereotypes on Italy and France (and as an Italian living in France I feel I?m in the right position to make this comment!). However, given this is a mystery book and not a socio-political tome, I think it deserves 4 stars!

Excellent performance!

I've read this book several times and was amazed that the audible was still engrossing!

The code has been kept

I liked the movie & the along with this audio book. The next book awaits the lost symbol. I recommend this book to all Tom Hanks fans

Highest Quality read

This book is on a par with (or above) any other mystery writers I have read. A beautiful blend of fiction and fact. I can not imagine this book being abridged it is cram packed. A must read.

Suspensful!

I enjoyed all the historical facts of this book, while you were getting a great suspense thriller, you also received a history listen in symbology. While the story is fictional, don't let it shake your faith or lessen your belief;) Great Story!

Just a BLAST of a Listen!

We have had a blast with this title. The story requires suspension of disbelief, but then again don't the all? But, it also is a fun ride...we cannot wait for the movie nor can we wait for the next Robert Langdon book...and yes, it's a silly story...or is it? ;)
