Amazon.co.uk
With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoterica culled from 2,000 years of Western history. A murder in the silent after-hours halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle.
The duo become both suspects and detectives searching not only for Neveu's grandfather's murderer, but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England and history itself. Brown has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought. --Jeremy Pugh, Amazon.com

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Da Vinci Code: A Novel (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Like dolls that nest inside one another Dan Brown's newest book, "The Da'Vinci Code", is, a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, as Sir Winston Spencer Churchill once wrote. And Like Sir Winston there is a Knight in this book as well, Sir Leigh Teebing. Sir Leigh and our protagonists are faced with constant puzzles, one of the most fascinating of which is the cryptex, or more sinister, nesting cryptexes invented by none other than Da'Vinci himself.This book is a thriller, mystery and even a healthy measure of counter-factual history, how might the World have been different if only a certain what if had occurred? The variables examined are done with skill, a very clever pen, and most importantly with respect for the subject matter. Religion is as volatile an issue as there is; to successfully use it in a work of fiction is a tribute to the author as a writer and individual. The brilliance of this tale is that you don't know, that as you open the first doll, that a variety of smaller ones wait within. Dan Brown sets a box in front of you. Open the box and you may find another cube or perhaps a pyramid, and inside that a sphere. And every layer you work your way through requires a different method from our protagonists to move forward. Open an object correctly and the quest continues, puzzle out your solution in a flawed manner....and who knows? The author also firmly plants the book in reality with a real organization he mentions at the book's start and that you can visit on the web. The nature of the group lends credence to extremes in points of view, makes what could be fantastic possible. The great news is that when you have finished the book the fun has only begun. The author has placed a quest for readers on the web, and I have spent a few hours puzzling through it and can state without condition it is wonderful fun. This is the fourth book from this author and I feel it is his best. His previous work, "Angels and Demons", was number one with me, and now perhaps is 1A. This book is a fantastic ride, and will get you hooked on this man's work if you are not already one of his readers. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Da Vinci Code. (Broschiert)
The Da Vinci Code ist ganz amüsant, eine leichte Lektüre, sehr gut geeignet für den Strand oder als Einschlafhilfe. Zugegeben, meist ist Spannung im Spiel, das ist eine Komponente die Dan Brown aufrecht zu erhalten versteht. Und - grosses Plus - das Buch ist wesentlich besser recherchiert als seine anderen Werke, vor allem besser als "Illuminati". Allerdings hat die Geschichte wie andere Brown Bücher auch einige Logikschwächen. Auch das Ende ist wenig glaubhaft doch soll an der Stelle nicht zu viel verraten werden falls der eine oder andere sich doch lieber selbst ein Bild machen möchte. Jedoch möchte ich alle diejenigen die bereits ein Buch von Dan Brown gelesen haben warnen: Sie werden ein deja vu erleben, die Bücher sind alle identisch aufgebaut, so dass man sich als Leser etwas veräppelt vorkommt.

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Da Vinci Code. (Broschiert)
Maybe one of the other critics is right and the story in the foreground itself is not THAT breathtaking really. But what is really fascinating about the Da Vinci Code is the riddles and mysteries behind it: the story about the grail. At least it was not Dan Brown alone who invented the theories he describes - I read these theories a decade ago for eaxample in Michael Baigent` s Holy Blood, Holy Grail. So could there be something about these grail theories? Could this be not simply fiction but a story based on a very real background? To me that - unsolvable - question and the way Dan Brown weaves lots of provable details into his unprovable tale is the real fascination about The da Vinci Code. So when I reached the last page I did not simply lay another mystery novel aside, but felt stimulated to find a biography of Leonardo, to look for other books on the grail, to visit Dan Brown` s homepage and take the photograph tour, to read something about cryptography and the Merovingians, to sum it up, I felt stimulated and what more could a novel really want to achieve?A recommended reading - even if you tend NOT to believe the farer-reaching speculations.
