I’ve always enjoyed alternate history expeditions. Indiana Jones, National Treasure and now also this series. Its hard not to enjoy a combination mystery and treasure hunt driven by clues sprinkled throughout history. I enjoyed this one more than I expected.

I had really high expectations towards this book. I've heard so much about [a:Dan Brown|630|Dan Brown|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1399396714p2/630.jpg] and his books that it was impossible not to expect anything. That made this book a must read for me. It took me a while to get through the first few pages, but once I reached page 100 it picked up pace. Even though it's about conspiracy theories, religion, science etc. it was an easy read. It also got creepy enough for me to be uncomfortable at night if I turned off the lights.

The writing at first seemed quite hard, but as soon as I got used to it, it worked out pretty good. I'm not the biggest fan of history, and my knowledge on the field isn't really that good, so I have no idea whether the facts in this book are true or false, but I liked the way it made me doubt things.

This is a masterpiece.

Overall I enjoyed it and it was a fairly quick read once I actually sat down and devoted time to it. The romance in this book however is kind of cliche...but it wasn't over bearing or anything.

Re-reading the book in preparation for the movie next month...

I read this back in 2006 (and I do mean read, as in the physical version) after immediately finishing (and adoring) The Da Vinci Code, which was being hyped like crazy then. When I first picked up The Da Vinci Code, I had no idea it was part of a series. You can imagine my delight upon learning of this installment and eventually coming to love it even more than The Da Vinci Code. I'm usually a stickler about reading a series in order (it's a serious pet peeve), but this series was written in such a way that each installment could almost be a standalone novel. I read it 10 years ago, so I won't do a detailed review. But suffice it to say that even though #1 and #2 are both worthy of 5 stars, this one edges out The Da Vinci Code by just a nose hair.

LOVED this book, even better then the Da Vinci Code.
