Dan Brown's mega-bestseller is now available for a new generation of readers. This young adult adaptation takes readers from Paris to London on a breathless tour of famous landmarks and will remind fans everywhere why the New York Times calls The Da Vinci Code blockbuster perfection.

"The greatest conspiracy of the past two thousand years is about to unravel."

Robert Langdon, professor of religious symbology at Harvard, is in Paris to give a lecture. At the reception that follows, he is scheduled to meet with a revered curator from the world-famous Louvre museum. But the curator never shows up, and later that night Langdon is awakened by authorities and told that the curator has been found dead. He is then taken to the Louvre the scene of the crime where he finds out that baffling clues have been left behind.

Thus begins a race against time, as Robert Langdon becomes a suspect and, with the help of French cryptologist Sophie Neveu, must decipher a mystifying trail of clues that the two come to realize have been left specifically for them. If Robert and Sophie cannot solve the puzzle in time, an ancient truth could be lost forever and they themselves might end up as collateral damage.

This book was amazing and at every turn, something unexpected happened. By the end of the book, you have to learn to expect the unexpected. It was an amazing book and I had a lot of fun trying to figure out what they are searching for and where it is before Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu. Overall this book was almost perfect. There were a few parts that you think that Dan Brown messed up on, but ended up tying into the story 200 pages later. If you don't pay attention to every detail you might

‘What if Leonardo Da Vinci hid the truth and secrets of Christianity in his famous painting “The Last Supper?”' Through this “what if” question, Dan Brown was able to write a memorable, exhilarating, and inquisitive introduction, and as these qualities intertwined with his characters and dramaticthemes, the novel truly becomes a page turner.

This book had so complex story structure that my mind only wandered between the arcaneness of the pages. It haunts your thoughts to the core of your being and I'm loving this state of mind. And the plot twists?!!...I just can't.

The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown is a mystery. It has multiple mysteries which makes the plot more fun and exciting to read. The first mystery Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu have to solve is who killed Jacques Saunière. The second mystery which takes up most of the book is the search for the Holy Grail.I greatly enjoyed the plot of this book. It was exciting and well written. I also enjoyed the characters. They were smart and worked well as a team. I also enjoyed the theme. Some themes for this

I took this book with me on a vacation to the Belgian Coast. Given how big it is I thought it would keep me busy for at least a week. How wrong I was... This novel absolutely knocked me off my socks and I finished it within a couple of days. Not many times have I enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed The Da Vinci Code. This, to me, is the perfect mystery story. It is such a page turner and the plot is one of the smartest I ever read.Like many others, I found myself reading up on the theories prese...

The Da Vinci Code delves into the relationship between the Christian Church and the world of Paganism. The story itself is a mystery surrounding the murder of a French curator of the Louvre. Not only is it a grippingly beautiful story, but through Robert Langdon's hunt through information of secret societies, legendary tales, and truths of the origins of Jesus Christ, I have learned a vast amount of knolwedge about the history of the catholic church, famous paintings, influencial characters in h...

A pageturner, absolutely! (Finished it within two days), but .. how many impossible impossible situations do the main characters end up in and in how many miraculous miraculous ways they get away with it again and again? It remains fascinating, but it’s also getting a little bit hilarious.It’s written in a very interesting setting indeed like organisations as The Priory of Sion, Opus Dei, The Templars and the historical role of the Catholic Church (although i can’t judge the degree of fact and f...

It was awesome. Untill the end. Not as bad as the movie though.

The Da Vinci Code is one of those books that you wish you were a part of the story. There are so many mysteries and secrets that all seem to lead to another, and it pulls you in and doesn't let go. Although it is fictional, it seems so real and makes you want to believe all the things that happen in this book. This is truly a book that you don't want to put down until your eyes get too heavy to keep open. Before you watch the movie, read the book. It truly supports the claim that "the books are

It's been years since I read the original Da Vinci Code, so I am not sure about specific details and plot twists, but when I read the Young Adult adaptation, it seemed very similar to the adult version. I would have to read them side by side to be able to tell what was left out and what was modified. Having said that, the Young Adult adaptation is perfect for teens who like action, mystery, suspense, and quite a bit of art history thrown into the mix. Recommended for gr. 7-12.
