The Da Vinci Code
by Dan Brown

Anchor Books, New York, 2003
489 pages


Dr. Robert Langdon of Harvard University was sent to solve the murder or Jacques Saunier by Silas in the Louvre Museum in Paris. When he got framed, he saw that it was the scrambled code from Fibonacci. He meets Sophie Neveu and together they solve the scrambled code of Fibonacci. They also discover that the police were watching them with a GPS device.


After outsmarting them, they escape and start to search for the cryptex and the Holy Grail which reveals a very valuable secret to Christ. First they found the cryptex in a storage facility where a friend helped them slip pass the police again. Unfortunately the friend wanted the cryptex too and used a gun to hand the Holy Grail over to him or else the two would be killed.


The couple hid into a professor’s home. The man’s name was Mr. Teabings. They discussed over that Christ had children and a wife. The only way to prove this was to reveal the Holy Grail to the world. Once again they slipped passed the police and got to their destination, but the assistant was planning evil things with Silas and had a big influence with the group. Teabings managed to get it back.


Silas and his boss Aringarosa were done for and the three were at the church trying to get clues. Something unexpected had come. Since Teabings was so obsessed with Christ and wanted to reveal the secret so badly, he took out his gun and blackmailed Langdon and Sophie to solve the cryptex code and bring out the secret. Landon got out of the situation and made Teabings go to jail. Later Langdon found the Holy Grail through reading one of his books.


This is a fascinating story and won’t let you put the book down once you start reading. I really enjoyed it especially when Langdon is in the event where he has been forced go solve the code to open the cryptex. Then finds a way to get away with the problem. If you like mystery and action, THIS BOOK SUITES YOU PERFECTLY!!!
