PERSONAL REVIEWS

I really think Dan Brown loves to kill one or the other person in the starting of his books.But this type of style makes him one of the top authors and his books the best sellers.The Da Vinci Code has really been written in a very superb manner and there is no page in the book which lets boredom sets in.Each page gives the craving for more reading.As usual Dan Brown has really mixed religion with legends and fiction and made the book above perfection.
If you like you can watch the movie for a better understanding but one advice a book is damn good than a movie.
I would rate the book 5 out of 5.I hope you would agree with me,write your reviews in the comment box.
