“The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown, narrated by Jeff Harding

What could be more exciting than a novel that tests your own beliefs and looks to provide historical evidence to support those challenges. For me The Da Vinci Code did just that. I studied the History of Art in College, knowing all the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and sculptures of Bernini mentioned in this novel just added a level of intrigue.

You know how people say, the book is better than the movie, we in this case I would have to agree. The book offers so much more by way of detail and evidence making the experience so much more rewarding.
