Harvard symbolism professor, Robert Langdon, finds himself caught one night in an adventure and trying to solve a 2 millennia old mystery. When a very wealthy socialite, Jacques Sauniere, gets murdered, the first clue he leaves points directly to Robert. Then, his granddaughter, Sophie helps Robert escape from the French Police, and together, they spend the night searching for Sauniere’s real murderer and trying to reach the 2 millennia old secret before it falls into the wrong hands, all while avoiding the police. Sophie also learns about the true history of her family and grandfather, who she cut off ties to a decade ago. This story is one of the best mystery books I’ve ever read. The author, Dan Brown, has an extremely clever way of using historical facts and combining it with his touch of fiction interpretations in order to create a very intriguing and well-planned plot. It is a conspiracy theorist’s heaven. The more the story unravels itself, the more exciting it gets. The book is also very informative, especially about some ancient civilizations, and it shows different sides to alternate histories and different cultures. Another bonus is that the writing style and language of this book is beautifully composed together. Another aspect I really enjoyed is the protagonists. Robert and Sophie are both extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, but they are characters that anyone can connect to. So I had a lot of fun reading about them skillfully break codes and solve mysteries. Therefore, I think The Da Vinci Code would be an inspiring and adventurous read for anyone.
