Review 21: The DaVinci Code

**Part of the Dan Brown Month**
Title: The DaVinci Code
Author: Dan Brown
Publisher: Pocket Books
Rating: 8/10
The Lowdown:
Robert Langdon's most adventure- the one that takes him all around Europe in locating the infamous Holy Grail.
The Good:
A. Introduction of a few quirky/cool characters.
B. The mystery part
C. Awesome facts/tidbits about Jesus Christ and Christianity that I never knew. I'm not a Christian, so I didn't look at the book hypercritically; it was more like an enlightening experience for me.
D. Short and sweet chapters.
The Bad:
A. The ending. I seriously did not get it/ was not satisfied by it.
B. The romance. Seriously, Robert Langdon is such a player! He's always messing around with other girls SO MUCH younger than him. Ew. Gross!
C. Shifting perspectives.
The Consensus:
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but it did have boring parts. Sometimes, I got confused when Brown changed the perspective of the speaker. Overall, the book was enjoyable but not as good as Angels and Demons.
