The da Vinci Code

I read this book on and around its release date at the turn of the millenium, including its predecessor Angels & Demons released a few years earlier.

It's a good book but only rated 4 stars due to how meandering it is, like being in an endlessly winding crypt with limitless puzzles and possibilities that never come to a conclusion, which is an amazing skill to have as a storyteller and probably why it's so highly rated by so many, like an everlasting amphetamine-fueled trip with no release or satisfying climax.

The fault is perhaps being too much and too overwhelming, almost suffocatingly so.

Recommended for sheer content and entertainment, as a classic thriller on steroids.
