If you're looking for a mind blowing read this season then you have landed at the right page. Here are 5 reasons why you should read The Da Vinci code atleast once in your lifetime and probably why it is one of the most sold books of all time.
1. Astounding Plot
Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu are on a quest to decipher the code left behind by Sophie's grandfather, Jacques Sauniere minutes before getting murdered. This code will lead them to something that will change the history of Christianity. The plot is extremely gripping and the story has so many twists and turns that it is impossible to not read further. I remember starting it and before I knew it , just one more chapter had become the entire book.
2. A Plethora Of Information
Dan Brown: " 99 percent of it is true. All of the architecture, the art, the secret rituals, the history, all of that is true, the Gnostic gospels. All of that is … all that is fiction, of course, is that there's a Harvard symbologist named Robert Langdon, and all of his action is fictionalized."
The Da Vinci Code has innumerable facts that help you enhance your knowledge base about Christianity, Leonardo Da Vinci and his paintings or even symbology and cryptology . For instance , I knew nothing about the Fibonacci sequence before reading this book or that the painting, The Last Supper , is perhaps a depiction of 12 men and one woman, whether that woman is actually Mary Magdalene is something for you to decide.
3. Extremely Thought Provoking
In a world full of people having a preconceived notion about everything this was one of those very few books that argued with a lot of biblical facts that we know now as true. I don't know if any of the contradictions is true but it surely gives your brain enough things to ponder every once in a while. It literally backs up every single statement against the church or for the church with a very relevant fact .
4. Its Controversial!!!
I don't know about you but I'm always looking for some tea and this book definitely spills a lot on some subjects.
A lot of people have condemned this book and almost the same number has loved it, I don't think that the book is anti christian but it argues with some aspects of modern day Christianity.
Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith".
5. Unforgettable
LASTLY PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE GENRE OF THE BOOK IS ** FICTION**.
100% right and worthy to reread many times.
