I love this book, although i am hesistant about its “facts.” Dan Brown is an amazing fiction writer, and I love his little puzzles in the book, and how it seems so realistic. His puzzles are so obvious, so surface-like, and linked to history, and yet very challenging. The puzzle involving Newton is my favorite. Dan Brown made this book seems real, he made people into believing it is non-fiction (I regret for believing it was factual too), and that is the brillance of his storytelling.

This book is definitely worth reading. It is a real page turner, and it got me addicted. I didn’t slept a whole night because I was reading it despite my tiredness which was really killing me. Many critics commented that this book thwarted history in the most impossible method. There ARE some truth in the book, such as the Star of David, the PHI, and the origins of playing cards. I am unsure about the whole intimate affliation between Mary Magdalene and Jesus, the veracity of Priory of Scion, and the whole thing with Newton Issac and other popular figures being part of the society mentioned in the book. I think I belong to the skeptic wing. However, it was a beautiful read, and I love how Dan Brown managed to pull together popular figures, Da Vinci’s arts, eminent places, and coalesced them with secrets and puzzles that he made up. And that, i give him credit, and i recommend everyone to read this book.
