overrated secret societies

I resisted for months to read this book. I finally gave in after too many nudges that I have to read it. So I read the The Da Vinci Code after I finished my thesis, expecting that it would be a quick, fun read, which indeed it was. Perhaps a bit overrated. Secret societies and the mystery surrounding the Holy Grail is appealing and intriguing and eye-catching for sure, and its suspense was enough to warrant finishing it. But at the same time, its more obvious progression of events and plot development turned me off by a third of the way into the book. And of course the ending was slightly abrupt and anticlimatic. If you thought this was the best book you've ever read, you're clearly not much of a bookworm. Well, to each its own.

A moneymaker for sure, however. Something tells me that writing about God makes money. It is probably the ethereal that enchants us all, the desire to learn something new about the unknown.

Next book: Maia.
