The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

so, to follow up on my first post of the day, which was kind of interrupted by my 'dickey's big news' post, i said i would write more about books, so here i am.

this time i'm talking about the last book i read, one that has gotten a lot of hype, and much like the much hyped harry potter books, was a fun read, but not much more than that.

that's right, i'm talking about the da vinci code by dan brown.

here's the thing... i enjoyed the book, i really did. it was beach trash, it was an easy read and super digestable. and it was full of fun interesting ideas. it was just a schlocky mystery, but it was great.

the characters were cardboard. the plot was thin. the writing stilted.

but still, it was a good book. it was a page turner. it was something i didn't want to have to stop reading. it was a book that kept me up until the middle of the night because i wanted to find out the next piece of the puzzle.

it also presented me with a bunch of pretty interesting ideas. i am facinated by the idea of the divine feminine and the idea of some massive conspiracy by the church to hide it. who knows if it's true or not, it was just interesting to think about. and i love the idea of symbolism, hidden symbols in art and achitecture.

so, what i'm saying is, if you can get past the writing and just think of it as beach trash with some interesting ideas behind it, then i highly reccomend reading it.
