All that I know

The characterization is brilliant and I think this book should come with a statutory warning “Highly addictive, do not read this if you are busy”. I really feel that this warning is very essential because this book is so addictive and you will end up postponing all your works in order that you will finish off with the story. It is filled with surprises and there is a twist in almost all the pages of the book. As you read through the pages, you can feel a sense of belonging to the storyline. This is what makes every reader sit down glued to the book for hours.

Now for those who have not read the book, let me give you a few tips so that you can enjoy the book even more. Firstly, don’t read the outline of the story on the cover page. Just try to observe the paintings of Da Vinci from the Internet and keep it ready so that you can refer anytime. Try to finish off the book in a single stretch. So start reading it when you have ample spare time. And even in case you do not have time, make sure you scrap out some time off your schedule as this book is worth reading.

The Da Vinci Code is one of the best suspense thrillers one can ever hope to read. Is this book a fiction? Or is it a fact? This is what you will be thinking right from the time you finish the book. I am not an art fanatic, but like everyone in this planet, I have had glance of Da Vinci’s great paintings like Monalisa, The Last Supper, Vitruvian Man. But it was nothing more than a glance. But after the author’s narration of the paintings and the way he has made Da Vinci and his paintings as one of the characters in the book is a masterstroke by the author.

In one of the earlier chapters in the book, the author describes about the numerical constant ‘Phi’. The author refers to it as “Nature’s Number”. He also describes that ratio of joints of all animals is equal to ‘Phi’. I am pretty sure that each and every reader who has read this book would have measured the length of their arms and length of their joint bones and with some simple calculations they would have arrived at ‘Phi’ which equals 1.618. When this kind of thing happens, you know that the author has totally involved all his readers literally into the pages of the book.
