Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci—and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

    " Haters be dammed. It's a fun, easy, breezy read. Sure it's fluff, but it's fun and original fluff. The illustrated version made it that much better of a late night run through. "

    " The interesting part of this book is that it was the first time someone has taken conspiracy theory and woven it in a fast pace action tale. "

    " Loved this because it introduced me to the world of conspiracy theories and hidden meanings. However, I do think that it doesn't live up to the hype (as per usual), and though intriguing, is far less revolutionary than is claimed. "

    " Actually, I gave up at the bit under the pyramid. The writing and characterisation was like a 1950s Scifi. Watched the film and - with Tom Hanks - it was "ok".Just. No, to be honest, it was awful too. "

    " I listened to the audiobook. I enjoyed the story and it kept me looking forward to my commute instead of dreading it. Fun story, some suspense, fast moving. I never read it back when there was lots of controversy, and I don't know what the kerfuffle was about. It's just a novel folks. "

  • Overall Performance: 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " An action thriller that reads like a ready-made and paced movie blockbuster screenplay, not like a book. Unimaginative language, trite imagery for most part, non-existent character analysis and exploration of character motivation, condescending and pretentious story, and devoid of any humour. "
