Da Vinci Code (Special Illustrated)
Da Vinci Code (Special Illustrated) | Dan Brown
One of the bestselling novels of all time, Dan Brown s "The Da Vinci Code" has intrigued and thrilled millions of readers around the world. Now all the artwork, symbols, architecture, and historic locations over 160 images are beautifully compiled in this full-color collector s edition." "A mind-bending code hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.A desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe.An astonishing truth concealed for centuries . . . unveiled at last. While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, a baffling cipher found near the body. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. The stakes are raised when Langdon uncovers a startling link: the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. Langdon suspects they are on the hunt for a breathtaking historical secret, one that has proven through the centuries to be as enlightening as it is dangerous. In a frantic race through Paris, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu find themselves matching wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to anticipate their every move. Unless they can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle, the Priory s secret and an explosive ancient truth will be lost forever. Instantly catapulted to the top of bestseller lists around the world, "The Da Vinci Code "is simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent, and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail. From secrets embedded in the Mona Lisa and "The Last Supper" to the symbols of ancient Egypt, to the architecture of landmarks such as the Louvre, Westminster Abbey, Rosslyn Chapel, and more, this fully illustrated collector s edition delivers the complete reading experience of Dan Brown s riveting novel from the opening pages to the unpredictable and stunning conclusion."

For this second read, I am still fascinated by how Brown has woven fact and myth in a way where the line between is blurred. The weaving is flawless pulling you into this incredible ride that has you fully invested.

I remember watching National Treasure as a kid and then wondering if all the conspiracy stuff about the Founding Fathers is true - this book is the adult version of that! I don‘t want to give away too much of the plot, so I‘ll say this: what starts as a murder mystery changes as codes, secret societies, and hidden messages come to life through paintings and architecture. Will the secret be found, revealed, or destroyed? Depends who finds it first.

Certainly a controversial book, which was I read it. I haven't read much of thriller novels, but this is one of the best thriller novel. Considering it to be a work of fiction, I enjoyed reading it. It has a lot of controversial facts, but I read this as a thriller fiction novel. At the same time while considering it to be a non fiction, this book disappoints me. Anyhow it's worth a read. #litsy

❄ The Davinci Code! I've been on a Dan Brown kick recently!

❄ Not really, although I've mostly steered away from challenges and just read what I felt like, which means mostly fantasy!

❄ The Mystery Of Mrs Christie by Marie Benedict! It looks like a thriller/mystery based on Start a Christie! It looks amazing!

BookmarkTavern I‘ve liked what I‘ve read by Benedict. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing! 4y

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1) tagged and the sequel "The Lost Symbol" - interesting, ye-no; kept me on my toes, no. I could see through the mystery very early on. From there it felt like watching a Detective Colombo episode in Mission Impossible style.

2) I'd love to have a cozy book nook for any reading.
I read "Beach Read" on my balcony on one of those very warm summer days this year. (tagged ?)

It‘s been a while since I read this book, but I enjoyed it even more this second time than I did the first. It certainly doesn‘t hurt that so many people act as if this book came from the theology section instead of the fiction section. A story that gets people‘s feathers up because they‘re too busy taking themselves far too seriously: what‘s not to love?!

"Men go far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire."

" What really matters is what you believe in. *

" Learning the truth has become my life's love. "

And the most hilarious fact pointed by the book:
" Authors, he thought. Even the sane ones are nuts." ???

After I finished The Da Vinci Code, I was surprised to find that I didn‘t enjoy it as much as the prequel Angels and Demons. Nevertheless, it was a fast paced novel that was extremely hard to put down. I highly recommend it!
