The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown reviewed by Rico Diaz

For me, this was the first time I’ve EVER read, completed, and liked a book that was 400+  pages. If I’m able to read a book like this then I think others will definitely fall in love with it. This book is an absolute awesome read. The simplicity and nature combined with the twists and suspense creates an easy and enjoyable one. The opening of the story catches your attention from the beginning. What better way to open a book then a mysterious murder?
            As the book begins, Jacquiese Sauniere, a curator at a famous museum, is hunted down and killed by an unknown assassin at the time. As he is left to die and with little time that he has, he leaves behind mysterious and bewildering signs and symbols that stump even the most sophisticated minds. Among those minds are a famous author and symbologist, Robert Langdon, and Sophie Neveu. Together they must find what happened to the curator and what all the symbols mean. What awaits them, they have no idea.
            As the storyline unfolds, you are just drawn into the story more and more. It’s a pretty addictive book and catches you off guard with every twist that the author throws in. Finishing this book, I absolutely recommend it to anyone of high school status or just anybody that likes a good thriller and suspense. The book does have subtle comedic texts that I found very interesting considering how much it catches you off guard. Overall, it’s a great read and one that you’d enjoy reading anytime you get the chance.
