Dan Brown " Da Vinci Code"

Well, Well...I am a sucker for thrillers especially mind-boggling games and mysteries. This book caught my attention when it hit the bookshelves with an excellent record and rating. I cant wait to get my hands on it but I am busy and damn broke as always as my frenz said. Well...All i can say is that I am bad at finances and life isnt as ez as I wished it would be. I would count myself lucky as I managed to get into Uni.
oK...digress again.....The book is excellent in terms of plot and engagaing the reader into this web of Piory of Scion. It is totally fabulous in terms of that. However, in terms of fleshing out the characters, I feel that it is not well-done. Maybe it is part of the writer's strategies to do that to induce mysteries. I feel a lack of sumthing. But the overall feel is fantastic and it helps me get pass the agony of writing a very challenging term paper that I set out to do. I love this feeling of writing but sometimes it just get on my nerves and it produce this self-doubt in almost all writers. The question of whether we can produce the next best piece. So we constantly push ourselves to do it.
No doubt this is a good book. I like it alot. Wish I had the time and $$$ to buy the next book which I believe is called "Da Vinci Decoded"? I know my network is slow..but hey that's how life is...Sometimes with the limited resource, you got to make the best out of it.
For those who are bent on starting a thriller, this is a good one. I would rate it as 5 out of 5.
