I actually like this better than The DaVinci Code. It's the same style, and the story is riveting. It's not a book that is meant to make you learn something about humanity or the world, but it is pure entertainment.

A much better book than the Da Vinci Code, this novel combines fast-paced action with interesting history.
Much better than The Da Vinci Code.
