 The Da Vinci code book review: (by Dan Brown)

Hey y'all, hope you all are doing fine! This blog is about my thoughts on the book "The Da Vinci Code", (by Dan Brown) without any spoilers. This review is solely based on my personal perspective. 


The novel "the Da Vinci Code" is a crime thriller/historical book. It was very absorbing, riveting and hands down the most gripping book I've ever read. The more I read, the more I wanted to read, It is a fast-paced novel with an unusually high IQ. Dan Brown is one of the most passionate writers known to me.
All descriptions of artwork, architecture, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate.

The story plot:
It revolves around a Harvard professor, Robert Langdon, who is the protagonist of this book, and an ingenious cryptologist Sophie Nevue. Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night call. The curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered in his own museum in a bizarre way. With this at the account, Robert Langdon and Sophie Nevue are set to crack the baffling codes left by the curator which leads them to know more about the Priory of Sion, a secret society that was founded in France, and Leonardo Da Vinci, deep into the vault of history, unless Langdon and Nevue decipher the twisting codes, a staggering historical truth would be lost forever. This truth is so powerful that the mere existence of the members of the Priory of Sion is to protect it. Opus Dei, a devout catholic organization has been the topic of controversy due to reports of brainwashing, coercion, and a dangerous practice known as "corporal mortification", They try to seek the historical truth before Langdon and Nevue do. Who will get to know the ultimate truth?

My thoughts on this book: 

This is one of the books I knew I will like after reading the first line. It is a must-read. It really enlightened me, and I got to know more about the history of Christianity and its origin. The words were impeccable although a little complex. This is one of the books which got me into reading, and I will forever love this. On the contrary, I found it a little bit draggy. Although this book was controversial and offended many people, I didn't find it offensive. The truth is what it is and the people need to know. It is one heck of a stimulating plot, which made me binge-read it. To be honest, I got into a reading slump after completing this book, none of the other books were invigorating like this to me. This is one of the books, I would sell my soul out to read for the first time. 

Climax: The climax blew my mind when I finished the novel. Absolutely mind-boggling. I didn't expect the ending at all, I couldn't process the conclusion as it was so unthinkable. 

Overall this novel has one of the finest mysteries which was absolutely dramatic and action-packed which deserves a space on everyone's bookshelf.

(Atomic Habits by James Clear.) Do you realize what you do when you unconsciously type your password on the phone as soon as you open it?  How about the time when as soon as you enter a dark room, you immediately tend to switch on the light? These are some of the instances from our daily life which proves the significance and power of habits and routines.  A study showed that cats were used in an experiment, they were basically trapped in a box where they have to overcome some kind of hindrance to open the door to their delicious treat. The box was designed in such a way that if you press a lever it would open. At first, the cat was very impatient and it pondered around the box, once it figured out that the door would open if it pressed that lever, the next time and next to next time the cat was placed in the box, it took lesser and lesser time for it to escape out of it.  The sole concept of habits is that your body would automatically do something over repeated times of...

Pride and Prejudice | My thoughts| By Jane Austen

  Hey everyone! I'm back with another post. My passion is literature. I love reading American/ Indian feministic novels. So, here are my thoughts about the famous "Pride and Prejudice" By Jane Austen, which I'm pretty sure everyone knows about. The reason why it's Britain's favorite book is because it's a beautifully written feministic novel, which was actually written during 1797, where most woman didn't have their basic inalienable rights. Although, this book was written two centuries before, it's still cherished and embraced by people all around the world.  Story plot: The story plot revolves around Elizabeth (Lizzy) of the Bennet family. Being born in a society like that, women are denied of having dreams, and are forced and encouraged on getting married to a man. Elizabeth spends most of her time in her father's library acquiring knowledge.  When she stumbles upon Fitzwilliam Darcy for the first time in a ball, she writes him off as an arr...
