You know hype really is just that, something people use to make the object sound better and create a stir among people to be interested in it. The Da Vinci Code while well written was just hype to me really. After reading all of Dan Brown’s other works, I found The Da Vinci Code easy to read and it was easy to solve the riddles left behind by the Grand Master iin the story. I was pages ahead of the main characters, Dr. Robert Langdon (from Angels & Demons) and Sophie Neveu. Not to make myself sound all powerful and intelligent, but it was very easy to decipher the codes it was all about reading into the lines more and reading the correct lines. A good book overall, fun to read, but I personally think that Angels & Demons should be the book made into a major motion picture even if just for the controversial concepts inside.
