Nearly hundred reviews have been already written on the book. I am writing this review to tell; even if you read the book, don’t believe it.
The story starts with a murder, then involvement of the main characters in to it, and then the Cat and Dog chase (Sometimes it reminds me the movie “Khiladi”). The story progresses with “Fibonnaci Series” and “Scramble”. You will definitely surprise to know about the occurrence of the Fibonnaci Series in Nature.
The story is very much like a movie script. In fact a movie, acted by Tom Hanks, is schedule to release by next year.
The worst part of the book is; it’s spreading rumors about Mona Lisa to Mary Magdalene. The so called facts are reviewed by “Discovery” and “National Geography” independently, and both found no truth in those. Those are not even myths. In fact, the book is “Inspired” by another book called “The Holy Grail”. It’s also covering some material from a forgotten file “Priory De Sions” in a French library. Few days back I have seen a VCD and a book called “Decoding the Da Vinci code”. I am not sure about their contents but it may be useful to you if you have missed the documentaries by “Discovery” and “NGC”.
In a nut shell, I recommend the book to the hard book lover. It’s a New York best seller and you surely can not afford to miss it (in fact, you must have read it by this time). But, I do not recommend to the rest.
If you are an occasional reader, I suggest you to wait for the movie and spend your time by reading better books like “The Alchemist”.
