I cant seem to find the differences from the original one. But they say this is a watered-down version.

This is called LAZY author and Lazy publisher. Taking an adult book and rewriting it for teens. So infuriating.

AmberJoy I'm not sure I understand how it would even be adapted? 9y
LibrarianRyan @AmberJoy exactly. It's just a money grab. The dumbed down the wording and cut pages. At least that is what it looked like at BN. 9y
BookishMarginalia I know! So unnecessary. He should have just written a YA series. 9y

Not sure what I think about a YA adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, but I bought it and I'll read to see what's different.

britt_brooke What I can't figure out is why the original would be unsuitable for a young adult audience. Curious to see what you think. 9y
Godmotherx5 I agree with @britt_brooke I'm pretty sure my brother read it as a teenager. 9y

twohectobooks This is so odd. I also read this as a teen and there wasn't really anything "inappropriate" in it. I wonder if he made the protagonists teenagers and added a love triangle or something?! 9y
Peddler410 @twohectobooks no, the main characters are not teens. I might have to find the original and read them simultaneously. 9y
twohectobooks Looking forward to your thoughts! 9y

Did the world really need a YA version of The Da Vinci Code?!?

rachelm Nothing in that book is too sophisticated for a young adult to understand. This isn't Balzac or something 🙄 9y
Kitta 😂 wtf 9y
DivineDiana What will they think of next? 9y

GlitteryOtters NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 9y
WanderingBookaneer There are YA versions of Nicholas Sparks... 9y
MrsV So agree @rachelm 9y
Karen3 @WanderingBookaneer how can you YA a Nicholas Sparks book? 😳😳 9y
Zelma @rachelm nicely put! I don't understand that at all! Maybe they took out some of the self-flagellation scenes? 9y
Zelma @WanderingBookaneer @Karen3 is there sex in Nicholas Sparks? I've never read a YA version of an adult book so I don't quite understand. Do they make it easier or just remove stuff? 9y
Readingismyescape 😑 ugh! 9y
Vexingcircumstance I thought Nicholas Sparks books were YA to begin with..... 9y
WanderingBookaneer @Karen3 @Zelma @Vexingcircumstance : I have no idea how they are different—I never read them—but I got 2 titles at a teaching conference a few years ago. One of them was A Walk to Remember which, in its original form, is pretty YA as it was. 9y
