Found in the charity shop. Every time I see this book cheap somewhere I have to buy it and share!! I love this book, really can't recommend it enough- it's so much fun!! Well written( ahem), fast paced, fantastically descriptive and totally, totally absorbing. An action packed thriller where every chapter ends with a cliff hanger, most definately not to be taken seriously though the references to art and symbolism are very interesting. The whole thing seems to take place over a few hours with age-old mysteries that have stumped mankind for centuries solved within minutes once in the hands of our hero, a bit silly at times, but it certainly makes for a fantastic and very enjoyable read.

The blurb-
Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci- and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vaults of history.
Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, a stunning historical truth will be lost forever......

This is going straight out on its travels as part of my bookbox.

Having heard about this book over and over and over again I really wanted to read it, so it pretty much jumped to the top of TBR (it was the first one I got out of a car packed to the brim with all of my stuff to take to uni!). I really enjoyed it - the code cracking was fascinating, and I kept having to remind myself that it is a story :) I was really pleased when I managed to work out one of the problems before Langdon and Neveu! (Simple things, I know) I will definately look at some of the places and paintings mentioned in the book in more detail if I see them again! I will hopefully wild release this in the next couple of weeks, as I think it is something that people are likely to pick up. Watch this space...

I will be releasing this to someone in my German class at uni. He was going to by it, but hopefully this will encourage him to spend his money on the more worthy cause of Bookcrossing instead :)

CAUGHT IN DURHAM COUNTY DURHAM UNITED KINGDOM

Journal Entry 10 by wingAnonymousFinderwing on Sunday, February 13, 2005
This book was given to me by a friend at university after I told her that I intended to read it. This was my first experience with a bookcrossing book.

On the whole a very well constructed story which really makes you think again about things you'd considered to be givens. Unfortunately, the book does read like a novel which has been written with the intention that it be made into a film. The narrative stumbles from time to time, but on the whole, a very well-written book.

I found this book in a box at home and have no idea how I ended up with it but saw the sticker in the front of it and thought I might as well leave it for someone else.
This book is now available.
