December 08, 2008: The Da Vinci Code written by Dan Brown is a great adventure/mystery novel. This book is full of action and excitement. Another great thing about this book is that it makes you think. This story, which is the second book to Dan Browns first book Angle and demons, is about a man named Robert Langdon who is a professor of symbology. He was giving a speech on ancient symbols in Paris, London when he was called the Louvre museum to a crime scene where a Jacques Sauniere was laying dead spread eagle representing the Vitruvian Man, and written on the floor beside Jacques Sauniere was 13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5 O, Draconian devil!

What they didn?t know was that Jaques Sauniere was part of a secret society that protects a very sacred secret about the Holy Grail.
