The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

Yes I read it and yes I enjoyed it. I like Dan Brown's style and knack for suspense. Some find it annoying, predictable or base, I find it highly entertaining.

Weather or not the facts in the story are true, the book makes you ask questions of yourself and your faith.

Questioning is good. Following blindly is bad. In order for the church to grow stronger, it needs more sheep, not lemmings.

If you're easily offended, manipulated, threatened, or if you have a propensity toward burning books that offer opinions other than your own, then I don't recommend this book for you. For the rest of you, I recommend the Special Illustrated Hardcover edition. It allows you to look at the different pieces of art and architecture mentioned throughout, further adding to the immersibility of the story.

  • Christopher Moore: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

    Christopher Moore: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
    If you don't mind joking about religion, then you may enjoy this book. This is the funniest thing I've ever read. Lamb showed me how funny a novel can actually be and it has introduced me to one of my new favourite writers.

  • Steve Berry: The Third Secret

    Steve Berry: The Third Secret
    Fans of Dan Brown might like Steve Berry. He isn't as flashy, but his stories are intricately woven between fact and fiction almost seemlessly. He's probably a better writer and he tells you at the end of his books where history ends and his story begins.

  • Steve Berry: The Romanov Prophecy

    Steve Berry: The Romanov Prophecy
    Another solid work by Berry who is quickly becoming one of my favourites. This one will do the unthinkable...it will make you care about Russian history.

    Cormac Mccarthy: The Road
    • A Heart-wrenching postapocalyptic tale of the love between a father and son
    • Masterful use of language and storytelling
    • A Pulitzer Prize winner.
    • An amazing read!
    • Highly recommended! (*****)

  • Bryce Courtenay: The Power of One

    Bryce Courtenay: The Power of One
    This is a great introduction to Bryce Courtenay. What can I say about this book in so few words? I suppose the fact that this is the best selling novel of all time in Australia should really say enough.

  • Dan Brown: Angels & Demons

    Dan Brown: Angels & Demons
    The DaVinci Code may have made Dan Brown a household name, but this was a much more entertaining story.

    Maxx Barry: Syrup
    This guy is new and fresh and a delightfully light and entertaining read! If you're only going to discover one writer this year, give Max Barry a try.

  • Stephen King: Long Walk

    Stephen King: Long Walk
    So far my favourite Stephen King book. A morbid, chilling, intriguing look into the human struggle for survival.
