Journal Entry 1 by SwissShutist from Ostermundigen, Bern / Berne Switzerland on Wednesday, October 5, 2005
From the cover:
While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body and the floor around him covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci - clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion — an actual secret society whose members include Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others — and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle — while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move — the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

Dt. Titel: Sakrileg

Journal Entry 2 by SwissShutist from Ostermundigen, Bern / Berne Switzerland on Wednesday, October 5, 2005
Read last month (on the beach in Spain) - one year after Angels & Demons (which I personally liked better).
Looking for a well readable, fast-paced thriller everybody's talking about? There you are...
Will be a RABCK (or become a Ray).

Goes first to MacsBooks. From there on to mihi and then to Nicoleangela.

The Da Vinci Code is finished and I think I am finished with Dan Brown.
After Digital Fortress this is the second book from Dan Brown I have read. They are both very similar in how the story is told. A never ending story of a chase for something.
The story is interesting and has a lot of suspense, but I don't like his style of telling it. The chief characters stumble from one hopeless situation into the next always saved in the last moment — at least it seemed to me.
I dont't think I'll read a third book of Dan Brown.
Will travel to mihi when I have the address.

Thank you for sending the book -it arrived today. Can't wait to start reading.
I enjoyed this book. It was a real page turner for me. The question now is since I'm the last person participating in this ray would anybody else want it? Has anybody changed his or her mind? This is the first book I've read by Dan Brown and I could stop reading.
