Aneta’s review:
Very famous book. Rather everyone heard about The Da Vinci Code. I read this book times. I know it was mistake but first I watched movie, later read book. Ehh really my mistake. So during read book all the time in my mind wasn’t my fictive Robert Langdon just Tom Hanks… When I read book first time was enchanted, a lot of riddles but second hmm I was little bored because paid more attention on other things. So much historical descriptions and so annoying Sophie “When I was small my grandfather blablabla” or “Princess Sophie” I don’t know what many times it was repeating but a lot… Whole story very smart and interesting even if this is just fake story. Have Jesus in the family ulala nice :D

Afzaal's review:
So the Code, hmm where to begin.. It is certainly one of those books that enhanced my vocabulary to a totally new level. The book is about the "Holy Grail" and the quest of it, the story starts with the murder of 4 people that are suppose to protect the secret location of the Holy Grail and they are part of a secret society. Apparently they not have so good relation with the church because they can unveil the secret that Jesus has a blood line and had a wife and kids etc. So hmm the story evolves between another person who is trying to get the holy grail and he was responsible for murder of all these 4 protectors of Grail but the last Protector who died was the main person and his Grand Daughter who happened to cryptologist (Sophie Neveu) and the  symbologist Robert Langdon become the main murder suspects but because Sophie Grandfather left her many Clues and also mentioned to find Robert they run away from Police investigation and on hunt to find the Holy Grail. In the same moment the Police and the other person who is looking for the Holy Grail is after them also. It is in end cat and mouse game to find the Holy Grail. It has some surprising ending and it is a great book to read with a lot of interesting facts that would keep you in it all the time. I have to agree that there were some places where I kind of just skimmed through paragraphs because they just started giving soooo much detail and it became boring but overall I would say it was a good read. Reading any book after this books seems like going back to ABCD.. after reading a novel.... So it will make you check Dictionary quiet few times and if you are not Christian or Roman Catholic there are rather few things you won't understand but lucky for me my beautiful Girlfriend was always there to provide me with some extra knowledge :)
