the Da Vinci code
AUTHOR: Dan Brown
WHY I PICKED IT: I’ve heard so much about it. Mom told me when the movie released, it was a big hit everywhere!
THEMES: Religion vs. science, conspiracy and secret societies, faith and doubts.
FAVOURITE QUOTES:
“Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.”
“Telling someone what a symbol means is like telling someone how music should make them feel.”
“When a question has no correct answer, there is only one honest response. The grey area between yes and no. Silence.”
FINAL THOUGHTS: I loved how the characters solved each mystery and their entire brainstorming was really eye-opening. I learnt some interesting facts about art and history like Vitruvian Man, Opus Dei, Priory of Sion and so much more. The whole Jesus and Mary Magdalene storyline was wild (even though it’s fictional), but it made me think! Would recommend to the people interested in mysteries, thriller, religious conspiracy, or just learning some interesting stuff along the way.
