i guarantee youll be blown away by it.
its set in the present day.it starts with a weird murder in "the louvre" and goes on to reveal 2000 year old mysteries (stuff i thought i knew about but dont).there is some ingenious devices woven into the story which features some of the inventions that leanardo never got to make.
rivetting stuff
want to get it myself I'm reading another one of his books at the moment, Angels and Demons.
I loved the background story, it's something I have an interest in anyway and I've read factual books on it, so to see it set in a thriller was very interesting.
It's an easy read, short chapters that keep you reading 'just one more', good story moves along rapidly. I'd recommend it alright, surprised it's done as well as it has though.
read it last year, brilliant book
read it a couple months ago, was pretty good alright. picked up the other one of his books mentioned, angels and demons, for reading on the trains and planes heading to nijmegen. the two feature the same central character, but i was wondering does anyone know which comes first in the timeline? it seems like the angels and demons one is set first, with the da vinci code being a sequel.
edit.
OK, i checked it out and A+D was published a year before TDVC, which answers that question i guess.
just got gazza'a book, a great read and shows the other side of pro football, the money grabbing side.
he seemed to attract a large number of hangers on during his hey day.Quote:

can never make up my mind whether he was a wasted talent or just a waste-period.maybe the book might make me decide one way or another.
wasted talent, a man with problems which he denied and is olny sorting out now. but an amazing football talent never the less.
best story I heard him tell was when his auld fella and Jimmy 5 bellies went to visit him in Rome, and they brought him over 6 steak and kidney pies 'cos you couldn't get them in Italy. After a night on the razz, gazza went home slightly earlier than the other two to cook the pies. He opened the lids of them, scraped out the steak and kidney, and replaced it with Whiskas...Jimmy 5 bellies said it was the best pie he ever ate....fact!! :D :D
