...and I'm sure there's more
If you end up liking the Da Vinci Code, there's a sequel (not the same plot but with the same main character) that just came out. It's called The Lost Symbol.
ReplyDeleteI bought The Lost Symbol for a friend's birthday gift. She said it wasn't as good as The Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons. I think she still kind of liked it, though.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. It's interesting in its concept.
