The Da Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code written by Dan Brown created so much talk that will leave one wondering what is in the book to merit such attention. Classified as mystery/detective novel, it touches sensitive topics like the Holy Grail legend, Mary Magdalene and her relationship with Jesus Christ, and Christianity as a whole. The novel was a hit in 2004 and said to have been translated into 44 languages, 60.5 million copies in print as of May 2006. Despite the sales, there are still many people who question the validity of what was written by Mr. Brown. In fact there are books that help crack The Da Vinci Code, books that aim to help readers separate facts from fiction. Now, 3 years after, the book continues to sell and still is a good topic for debate. Nice work, Mr. Brown!
