Summary:
The main character Robert Langdon has a friend who is a curator for a very strange secret society (religious). This whole group was murdered because of a possesion that the murder wanted. It was called the keystone, which is a cryptex that will lead the code breaker to the Holy Grail (Mary Magdalenes' tomb) or the most sacred object in religious history. The curator (Langdons friend) was said to have had the cryptex. His granddaughter was given clues to share with Langdon to help crack the code of the cryptex. They encounter many obstacles, but along the way they figure out the code and are able to find the Holy Grail.
Review:
I thought this book was extremely well written. The author uses great detail to explain the important events throughouthe story. I would recommend this book to future cryptologists and people who like mystery. On a scale from 1-5, 5 being the best, I would give it a 5.
Quote:
" The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates.
Adorned in masters' loving art, she lies.
She rests at least beneath the starry skies."
This quote is pretty much the whole story in a nutshell. The last line is the most important because it explains that after the characters have found the Holy Grail, they realize they should have never went to disrupt her and left her to rest.

Kyle Grumoli - I saw this movie and it was very good and confusing. I like the idea of hunting for the holy grail because it makes it an adventure type book. Although the book is very big, i would try and read it because it appears to be just as good as the movie. I also really like the quote because it has a great meaning in the story. - Kyle Grumoli

ReplyDeleteThis story sounds very interesting. I have wanted to read this book for a while but I have not got to it yet. It seems like a very interesting and action-packed novel. I've read other stories by this author and they have all been well written and this one sounds as though it is no exception. The quote you chose was very interesting and it seems to be one of the most important parts of the entire story. - Raheem Malik
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to read this book but have never found the time to. I'm glad that somebody posted this on the blog because it just persuaded me to. The movie was really good, and I bet the book is more detailed and intense. Raheem was right, this novel sounds like it will be very action-packed.- Joey Bach

ReplyDeleteVery well done.
You did a great job describing the book and the plot. I have read the book and seen the movie. Both were great. I have read Dan Brown's other book, "Demon and Angels", and am looking forward to the movie coming out soon.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't been too interested in the Davinci Code, but this report has changed that. Now that I understand it more, I will read it. Very well written.
