At King's, we have many keen readers, who not only make the most of their library lessons and<br />
silent reading time but also enjoy reading at home. Each month, a different year group will be<br />
selected and the students who, according to Accelerated Reader, have read the most words in<br />
that year group will be invited to review one of the best books they have read this academic year<br />
for the newsletter. This time, it is the turn of Y11's Grace Chrimes.<br />
The Da Vinci Code<br />
The Da Vinci Code is a fast paced thriller<br />
that consists of talented characters<br />
finding clues through riddles. Suspense<br />
is built repetitively throughout the book<br />
and leaves the readers grasping on to the<br />
end of their chairs. If you love any type<br />
of action and intertwined mystery, then<br />
you will love this cryptic book.This book<br />
flips from the hectic point of view from<br />
Harvard University Professor of History<br />
of Art and Symbology Robert Langdon<br />
(with his assistant Sophie Nevue), to the<br />
Bishop Aringarosa of Opus Dei and Silas,<br />
a Monk of Opus Dei. There are a few<br />
other characters with a few main plots<br />
but I won't go into much detail. There is<br />
a gripping cat and mouse chase shown<br />
throughout the book that leaves you<br />
reading chapter after chapter.<br />
This book has been seen as quite<br />
controversial as it presents topics as<br />
being complete facts, such as religious<br />
ideas, which may offend people. I<br />
personally believe that all the<br />
information used within this book makes<br />
it more captivating and opens your mind<br />
to other potential possibilities. The book<br />
has also been criticized for the order that<br />
it is written in. However, I feel as though<br />
the way it is written makes it more<br />
enthralling as the episodic structure, to<br />
me, is very interesting. All in all, I would<br />
suggest this book for your entertainment<br />
if you enjoy captivating enigmas and<br />
mind baffling resolutions. The Da Vinci<br />
Code will hopefully be put into the<br />
school library, along with the other<br />
books written by Dan Brown that I am<br />
still yet to read.<br />
