i havn't read it but it sounds like it is good

Mrs.MM picked me up a copy yesterday, I'm in guys! 😄

right on! 😉

I am going to try yo pick it up tomorrow

You can come over and share mine if you like BKK. 😉

ohhh I'd like! 😄 *packs suitcase for england*

*Lights fire, puts on smoking jacket and slippers, dims lights and waits for BKK to arrive*

Finally! A book I can actually dicuss! I've read this TWICE, and may I say, this book is absolute unprecedented GENIUS!

The story follows Harvard professor of Symbology, Robert Langdon when he visits Paris. He gets a call in the middle of the night telling him the Curator of the Louvre, Jacques Sauniere, has been murdered. When getting to the crime scene, Langdon is called upon to decipher the cryptic and symbolic message Sauniere left when he died, written in his own blood.

Later he finds out that he is NOT being called upon to help the investigation, he's the prime suspect! So, with the help of Police cryptologist Sophie Nuveau (who happens to be Sauniere's granddaughter), Langdon escapes the authorities and run on an adventure to try and prove his innocence while we learn many distressing things about the Christian faith's past.

Well, that's the basic rundown, I can't wait to discuss in depth 💃

PURE GENIUS, it is (although I like his first book better: Angels and Demons) 👆

I'm half way through already, I can't put it down! 😱

every time I go to get a book for our club at the libary for our club..its never in 🙁

Uh-oh, I've finished it.

As usual, mech finishes far too early. 😱 😉

so what did you think of it moggy...it must be good you finished it already!

Yes, mogster? Whadja think? I'm eager to hear your assessment.

Very clever writer, he's certainly done a lot of homework for the book.

After finishing I looked up "the divine proportion" and "priory of sion" myself on the internet. I've also looked at some Da Vinci websites to take a closer look at some of the paintings mentioned in the book.

I won't say too much until others have got stuck into it.

Yeah, I did the same thing....part of his genius is that he makes sure to confirm the facts in the book beyond a shdow of a doubt....

Yea I checked out Phi on the net too....
Hey Have you check out his site www.danbrown.com its awesome!

His website is pretty cool.

Not sure about his khaki trousers and tweed jacket though... 😱

The unusual facts page was really cool!

I love the beginning!

..and thats all I have to say, because I'm bad and havn't even read half of it...

It wasn't me! Blame the English Coursework!

😄

For future reference....all of Dan Brown's novels begin with someone dying...usually violently murdered. It's a form of catching our attention. And I must say it works quite well
