The Da Vince Code
I'm sure you've all been through the hype by now. I'm just a hundred and fifty pages into the book but it's already one of the better written books since I read The Tin Flute, by Canadian writer Gabrielle Roy, in the summer of 2004.
Dan Brown's master-piece, The Da Vinci Code is very well researched and accurate to the gun point. The story is fantastically woven, and the great theatrical device we call "flashback" is one of the key reasons for the novel's popularity in literary circles.
