The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

This was a fun read. Nothing about the writing was impressive. It was basically hook after hook -- which works. I mean, I couldn't stop turning the pages. The puzzles were fun too, although a bit too easy. The reader shouldn't be able to figure out all the puzzles before the cryptologist and symbologist who are the main characters.

If you are looking for a thoroughly enjoyable read, this book is for you. If you are looking for a good book on cryptology, read The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography by Simon Singh.

If you like that one, he has another that is excellent called Fermat's Enigma. I highly recommend it.

This book was absoulutely wicked! Coming from a fifteen year old girl, who doesent have much time to read, it kept me hooked with a good beggining, middle and end. Excellent book, will definately be buying more books from this author
