Review: The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



View all my reviews



The second book in the Robert Langdon series opens with the premise when the French officials summons our renowned Havard symbologist after the murder of the Lourve museum's curator,  Jacques Saunière leaving behind some peculiar mathematical puzzles and some messages around the crime scene. Later Robert teams up with Sofie, a cryptologist to solve the bizarre murder mystery of Jacques, tracking down some deep-rooted connection with the greatest historian Leonardo Da Vinci.

This pulse-taking novel is beyond appreciation and is so much close to perfect!  The characters in the book are amazing, the thrills, the conspiracy, and the cliffhangers will force you to turn the pages to achieve a proper conclusion. The story much deals with the firm cultural era on the biggest aspect, which may be liked by a non-history freak, and chances are there that it may bore you also.  However, the expector of this book turns out to be the intricate and staggering work of Dan Brown reflecting the historian culture and artwork.  It has some really controversial topics with Christianity and its culture for e.g profound tales of Jesus and Lady Macbeth.  It also talks about some mind-boggling and intriguing work of the great Da Vinci, and after reading this, you will definitely build a different perspective towards that man,  The initial pace of the story is a bit slow and you have to push yourself to an extent of 50-100 pages, to get a proper insight of, even though the entire plot revolves around the incidents of a single night. The language is pretty impactful and is a must-read for a history freak or for someone who is so much into the culture!

Review: The Shadows Between Us

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller My rating: 3 of 5 stars View all my reviews This is the story of a girl who doesn't want a prince charming or a king. She wants to be the queen and a kingdom to rule! The Shadows Between Us is a Slytherin Romance, tracing our morally dark protagonists Alessandra and The Shadow King, Kallias, and their journey to fall in love. Let's start with something beautiful. “They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.” For something claiming to be dark and morbid, this is pretty light. There are several areas of the book that is being touched from the surface and left as it is. For instance, our central characters, Alessandra and Kallias. Both of them are shown as dark & morally grey, but there is no justification given behind their behavior, their psychology. They are being simply shown it's the way both of them are. Coupled with t...

Review: Queen of Air and Darkness

Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare My rating: 5 of 5 stars The amount of pain this book has driven me through is immersive!!! Especially in the first part of the book. Where everything started falling apart, and later in the second part things started to get a little better, it started getting more and more worse. Out of 900 pages, only the last 100 pages were kind of relief and happy-happy moment, yet you are always scared because Cassie can do literally anything in the last 10 pages and be like "Oh I don't think it is such a big deal, ykr I can do worse?!" Also, the epilogue. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! I want an explanation of what is going to happen. This Jace from parallel dimension Thule, he's after Clary now. Gosh. My head is already breaking. There were many moments in this book, which made me sob like a maniac. The starting itself was so chaotic, with the death of Robert Lightwood, Livia Blackthorn. During the funera...
