After all of the controversy this book has garnered, some people might be turned off, especially Christians. I can testify, however, that the book is really very good and, as a Christian myself, the material isn't too objectionable, as long as you realize that this stuff is FICTION. The book's story involves a symbologist's quest to uncover secrets of Christ's history after a murder takes place in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. The book is great fun, especially if you're interested in history, art, architecture, etc. Symbols and puzzles play a great part, naturally, and it's fun trying to figure them out with the characters as they race agains the clock. The added photos, pictures, and drawings in this Illustrated Edition of the book help guide readers to visualize the places, people, and symbols the book describes, too. Dan Brown, the author, is a master at keeping you thrilled with tight, short chapters, and you'll find it hard to put the book down once you've started reading it! A recommended read if you want thrills and suspense with a dash of (re-written) history and art thrown in. For open-minded Christians, too!
