Da Vinci Code By Dan Brown

As it is such an interesting and, at times, thrilling read there is no doubt as to why The Da Vinci Code has been doing so well on the book charts, even though it has been on the shelves for such a long time. The character development is genius. The way Sophie and Robert make connections between things in their heads and out loud to each other is extremely believable. Also, I enjoyed the way ideas introduced at the beginning of the book came together near the middle and end. I often found myself wanting to skip ahead to find out the key to solving a certain code or the meaning behind a symbol, as the author certainly keeps the reader in suspense.I would recommend The Da Vinci Code to those who delight in a good mystery; it's plot twists and difficult codes will be thoroughly enjoyed.
