A couple weeks ago I finally got around to reading that famous modern bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. While it was well written, a novel idea, and a great book, it had been hyped up a little too much, I think, because it didn’t seem as fantastic as everyone made it out to be. A couple of the puzzles took a little long to be revealed, once I’d figured them out, but my main critcism is the ending, which seemed rather anticlimatic. Still a very clever book, however, particularly in the puzzles and cryptography, and I’m looking forward to the movie adaptation.
