The Da Vinci Code

From the back of the book:
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 included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others - and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthe puzzle - while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move - the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

I wanted to read this book before its adaption is shown in the cinema - and I'm so glad I did!
It was a very thrilling book! A real page-turner! You never know what's going to happen next and nearly every chapter is a new, unexpected turn of the story.
Especially from the point when they are all in London on, everything becomes even faster and more surprising (but I won't say more not to give anything away ) - and it wasn't hard to follow the different plots.
I told Schrat so much about this book that she wanted to read it, too.
So, since this afternoon this book is on the way to Schrat in Oberkochen.

I got this book from DEESSE when we met in Freiburg. I took it with me in my holidays in the Black Forest. Because I had 3 other bookring books still to be read I did not start reading yet. But it will be the next book I'am starting to read. DEESSE gave the permission to release it when I will have finished reading... Is there anyone who is interested???
As DEESSE said: It was really a very thrilling book! Once I started reading I could not stop... You think you've found out who is/are the villain(s) and suddenly things turn out to be completely different! I'll pass on the book today to a friend of mine, trusting she will enjoy it, too.
