ダ・ヴィンチ・コード〈下〉

歴史をまたいだスケールの大きさ、取り扱う題材の中身からして推理小説の中でもはやり「名作」といえるのではないでしょうか。本で読んだ方が、映画よりずっとオモシロいとおもいます。読んでいてリアルに想像でき、鳥肌がたつのも、書き方が素晴らしいからでしょう。作者は学者家系でもあり、論旨がしっかりしているから、読者も引き込まれるし、史実にも突っ込みどころがない。（奥さんのお陰？？でもあるかも）天才ダビンチにまんまとはめられた？！今日の人類・・・、完服するしかありません。フィクションとはいえ、歴史小説のようにリアルで生々しい。所で、本書のようなものを書かれたダン・ブラウン氏、危険な目にあったりしないでしょうか。心配です。

キリスト教の、それはもう驚くべき秘密が満載で、かつエンターテイメントとしても十分に楽しめる。謎解きに次ぐ謎解き。はらはらどきどき。そしてこれだけの分量をあっというまに読ませてしまう筆力。なんといってもたった2日の出来事なのですから。

いつかこのようなエンターテイメントとしても知的好奇心という意味でも面白い本を書けたらいいなあと思う。

あとがきの荒俣氏もちょっとおもしろい

さまざまな固有名詞を調べる際に、原書があると綴りがわかるので手元に置くと良い。

そういう意味で、英語が読めない人でも購入する価値があると思います。

I couldn't put this book down. Every page was an education and the details and description flowed thick and fast. As a convent educated female, I saw the catholic system up close and remained an athiest throughout. I was intrigued and delighted by some of the theories which only went to support much of what I suspected all along but without the education to support it.
That aside, truth or fiction it was very compelleing and I couldn't put it down, although it's BOUND to upset anyone with a religious bent as it questions the foundations of christianity - which is fine by me!

I liked the refreshing way that it challenges the fixed conceptions and offers different scenarios as to how things came to be, which are every bit as likely as what we are fed as the truth in daily life!! I'd also recommend reading the mesmerising and highly evocative novel The Fates by Tino Georgiou.
