Don Brine
Where there's a CODE there's a COD ...
In the not so distant past, a man had a Very Cunning Theory which he wrote down in a book, and it proved to be very popular indeed. In the very distant past, a man was born who had a wife, who had a child, who grew up and had children in turn, and so there was a bloodline stretching to today. And Leonardo da Vinci knew all about it an

For absolutely no good reason, some hack by the name of Dan Brown writes a book making the Catholic Church look like a bunch of information withholding criminals, at just about the same time the Catholic Church was being, well, information withholding criminals.
The next thing you know a book with a convaluted plot, action sequences so long and boring you can practically read a different book in the time it takes to get from scene to scene, and a hero that'd described as Harrison Ford b...more

For someone who is intimately familiar with Brown’s work, this book is probably an absolute scream. I recognized only the obvious puns, having read Da Vinci Code once last year, but they were cleverly masked within the storyline. The plot was rather weak, but with all the distracting slams again the Code, not many people are likely to notice (or care).
Any book that makes me laugh in places and skewers some of the particular idiocies of the original is all right by me.
I think I should read the actual book, then come back to this.
If you came here expecting to read a certain book about a certain code, think again!!
In this rather hilarious send-up of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code", a man lies dead of a fish being stuck in his throat. A college professor is called in to analyze some bizarre clues left at the death scene. Throw in a Frenchwoman with her own agenda and...well, this isn't this story.
I thought it was a good book, but I would rather read the Da Vinci Code.

Haha! I love this book. It was so funny. I love tongue-in-cheek books, especially this one because it made fun of the Da Vinci Code. It is right up my alley because my sense of humor is mostly punny. This is one of the punniest books I've ever read, and it's funny!
An captivating novel. What was the love scene at the end all about? Very interesting ideas and a fast pace read. Could be offensive to some readers. A book that is a fun read but should be read as FICTION.
A cute idea. Fine prose. Silly, just like it promised.
This is really random, but it's a fun read, whether you like "The Da Vinci Code" or not.
This book was alright not the best book so far
So illuminating.
