The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code hit every note I wanted from a thriller book, and then some.

Rare for a thriller book to stick with me this long after finishing. The Da Vinci Code did.

The Da Vinci Code kept me engaged the whole way through, even if the ending felt a little rushed.

Dan Brown's prose carried this one more than the plot did, and that was enough.

The characters carried The Da Vinci Code more than the plot did, for better or worse.
