BEST BOOK REVIEWS: On a quest

19 February, 2017

First Prize

There are many books around the world. Some are adventure, historical and scientific. But it is only once in a life time that a story sticks in your head and never leaves you. The book which never leaves my mind is The Da Vinci Code. This book is written by the famous author Dan Brown. The story is a quest which is almost as old as time itself. The story starts with a Harvard Professor Robert Langdon who is summoned to decipher the baffling codes which the police find alongside a dead body. This is a heart-racing thriller. This story has so many twists that it would be a sin to reveal too much of the plot in advance. It is a historical and adventurous story that leads us back in time.

According to the book, “Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the piece of the puzzle, a stunning historical truth would be lost forever.” Dan Brown says, “Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand religion.” Dan Brown compares both science and religion, and his stories have many answers for our lives. This story is for anyone who wants more brain food than thrillers normally provide.
