The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown

Based on the premise that Jesus married Mary Madgelene, they had a child and their descendants are alive today, The Da Vinci Code is a very different adventure story.


Unjustly wanted for the murder of a curator at the Louvre Museum, Robert Langdon follows a trail of clues with the curator’s grand-daughter and code-breaker Agent Neveu which will ultimately lead him on the age old quest to find the Holy Grail.

With Captain Bezu Fache of the French Police hot on his heels Langdon will discover that Da Vinci’s paintings are not what they seem, friends cannot be trusted, why the Catholic Church has much to hide and the importance of the scared feminine in symbolism and religion.

I found this book fascinating and would recommend that it is read before seeing the movie, as the content is so rich with information, history and detail it will surely be lost in the screen play.
