To say that The Da Vinci Code is a "good book" is like saying that Einstein was a "pretty smart guy"... it is a horrendous understatement. If I were to be overly dramatic about it, I would call it a spine-tingling, hair-raising, brings-you-to-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of book, which will electrify all your senses.
This ingenious novel is about two strangers who find themselves brought together by a mysterious death inside the Louvre Museum in Paris. They end up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, all the while trying to decipher clues, riddles and codes left behind by the murdered museum curator, which they believe will lead them to one of the most well-guarded and controversial historical secrets of all time. The web of symbology, art and history traps them, as the chase brings them from Paris to London, both desperately seeking long-awaited answers to lifelong questions.
What I enjoyed about this book was the pace of how the events unfolded. There are no dull moments in the whole story line, and you will find yourself lost in the pages while the heroes jump from scene to scene, dilema to dilema, discovery to discovery. The author's vast knowledge about the arts, history and symbols is fascinating, and at times, it will make you wonder about your own beliefs. I admit that had I read this book during the time when I wasn't secure and stable about my own faith, I would have been agnostic by now... but hey, that's just me.
All in all, The Da Vinci Code is my new favorite read, and I would give it a grade of 200%. Hats off to Dan Brown!
Note: If you have read the book, I recommend you visit Dan Brown's official website for more information on the artwork, history and concepts.

I have quit trying to figure out the inner workings of God's mind. I have learned to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
