The Da Vinci Code

As I began to read it, I found that the author strength lies more in his skills to develop a tight suspense fiction thriller than creative non fiction work, however, with the Da Vinci Code he had accomplished a work with a one of a kind subject immersed in a fast paced thriller full of interesting insights about the unofficial story of Jesus Christ Mary Magdalene and the Church involvement to cover it up.

The work is based on symbolic nature symbols, religion dogma and many riddles which the author obtained with external support and serious research.

The product resulted in an interesting and amusing novel, suitable for somebody who wishes to reflect and at the same time get full entertainment in exchange of its time spent reading

The contents of this book can also be employed to debate in any History of Civilization academic class

So don't expect much excitement by that side. Literary qualities, ITOH, are completely missing: this book will not be remembered five years from now, unless I've already lost track with current readers, but that would imply a much greater level of ignorance amongst the common people, and I don't believe it.

This is, in short, another cliche movie script slightly baked up to make a book. Handsome couple, hinted romance, action scenes... chapters are short to the ridiculous, the seem more cutscenes than real chapters... is current average attention time-span that of a snail?

And last but not least, this book is PC to tears. The complainers are these kind of people who can't stand a single critique to his "faith", be them in one side or the other.
