Book Review : The Da Vinci Code – Dan Brown

The Da Vinci Code – by Dan Brown


Hello people, welcome to this space, I know it’s been so long but the corporate world does engage you mentally and physically. To be honest, I had nothing to write these days,  I could not think of a topic that could help people in some way or they could relate to it. But since these days, I’m getting back to my reading habit I spend my weekends in a world of fiction. And believe me, I have time traveled, also traveled to many places through books since it is nearly impossible to do it in real these days.

So I thought of reviewing my latest read by The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, with no spoilers.





Dan Brown is an American author, he started with the book The Digital Fortress (which is on my tbr list now). He was actually inspired by one of the Sidney Sheldon’s novel The Doomsday Conspiracy. After The Digital Fortress, Brown wrote Angels & Demons and Deception Point. Unfortunately, these books had little success at that time and were sold less than 10,000 copies in their first printing. But then Brown released his fourth novel The Da Vinci Code, which became the bestseller and now made me a fan of Dan Brown.

So coming to the book I know there are millions of reviews for this one on the internet but please bear me with it here, if you haven't watched the movie already. The Da Vinci Code is actually a controversial novel as the internet says it to be, and after reading I do understand the reason. But if you can ignore it because you don't want to miss one of the best fiction ever written. 

Da Vinci Code is an amazing thriller, your brain actually do a little exercise while reading this one, it’s a quest of finding a grail which opens the gate of history, Robert a Harward professor and Sophie a French cryptologist have to solve some bizarre and brainy riddles to unfold the mystery and they have to do it the correctly at once because one mistake and a timeless truth will be lost forever.

While reading this one I realized some of the facts in this book are actually true, which you might not know before reading it. So I advise you while you come across some interesting facts in this book google it for more details.

Now if we talk about the writing style it’s beautiful if you see Dan’s book you might observe they are quite thick but believe me when you start reading it’s difficult to stop. You practically live with characters as for this one I felt I was with Sophie and Robert the whole time. The twists gave me goosebumps, I did say “Whaaaaaaat”  quite a few times. It’s definitely a roller coaster ride where you are eagerly waiting to see what happens next.

Dan can control your emotions when it comes to falling in love with a character or hating a character. Personally, the easy names of the character make the flow for me and in this book, it was definitely at ease.

So coming to the point am I going to recommend this book to you? If you are into brainy thrillers, mystery books then definitely you need to read this. And if you are not into brainy thrillers, then this one is perfect to explore a different genre. But this book is quite thick if you are busy and not in a habit of reading then I suggest reading another book make your flow and start this one on a weekend. Take your time with few pages and then this book will show you the magic of Fiction.

So happy reading you guys, Stay safe J

All about happiness

What is happiness to you? ‘Happiness’  I think now days this word has lost its existence in everyone’s life.  People think its waste of time to spend a little time for themselves. Everyone is in a rush. A rush for money, a rush to excel in their respective career, or some unknown rush. Little we forget all it takes is less than 10 minute to be happy. You greet everyone with a smile. But do you really smile from your heart?  It takes same amount of time and same amount of energy but smiling from your heart really have some positive effects on your own personality. And now I ask you what your definition of happiness is ? For some it might be living in a big house, or buying an expensive car, or shopping in dubai. But surely there would be some people whose happiness would not limit to these materialistic things. They will get a little piece of happiness in the wrinkled yet sparkling eyes of their parent, or by listening to their favourite song on radio, or maybe...
