Product Description

Product Description
Breaking the mould of traditional suspence novels, The Da Vinci Code is simultaneously lightening paced, intelligent and intricately layered with remarakble research and detail.

From the Back Cover
Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre, Jacques Saunière, has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci – and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vault of history.

Langdon suspects the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion – a centuries-old secret society – and has sacrificed his life to protect the Priory's most sacred trust: the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. But it now appears that Opus Dei, a clandestine sect that has long plotted to seize the Priory's secret, has made its move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory's secret – and a devastating historical truth – will be lost for ever . . .

Breaking the mould of traditional suspense novels, The Da Vinci Code is simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail. From the opening pages to the unpredictable and stunning conclusion, Dan Brown proves himself to be a master storyteller.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 star entertainment., 16 Feb 2005
I read the da vinci code before it became a best seller, and I must say I did find it 5 star entertainment. You just couldn't second guess the next chapter never mind the end. It goes at a cracking pace throughout. I know its 'uncool' to like the novel now. There has been much criticism about the theories Dan Brown has written about and much debate. Well, I was intrigued by the whole thing. I was given the special collecters edition as a present and I must say,I do wish I had had this as a reference when I first read the book. It was the one thing I found frustrating, having to try to source the pictures and symbols talked about. The new collectors edition is beautifully illustrated although a little heavy to be used as bed-side reading. This book is a delight for fans of the da vinci code, but if your about to read it I would suggest you read the paper back, but if you can afford to, buy the collectors edition for ready reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thriller which actually thrills!, 28 Nov 2004
By Bukhtawar Dhadda (Derby, Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have to say I avoided reading this for a number of reasons until my wife picked up the paperback copy a few weeks ago. She read it in three days and handed it over to me with a hugely positive recommendation.Reluctantly I began to read and would you believe it I too read it in three days. Why? Because it's one of those books you just cannot put down once you begin reading. I love books which have a facutal basis and although 'The Da Vinci Code's' facts are very controversial and debatable it's exactly this that grabs the reader and certainly leaves you thinking at end as to how much you may have learned and the seeds which have been implanted in your mind. For this reason I would recommend the 'Illustrated Edition' - you need to be able to look at the paintings and maps as you read the book to enhance your experience.

By Ella Marke "Ella" (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
I love this book! Some bits can be quite gruesome, but it is one of those books you just can't put down. The plot was great, a real mystery, which really made me think hard. I love it and can't resit making it five star! I really reccomend it, It's a great book!
