Title : The genius of an artist
Review :
A creative genius, Dan Brown has made an articulate suspense enveloping the supreme art man Leo.
The book does not leave action a single moment, it leaves u flipping, racing through it!!! It is based on the works of a secret society and the people who guard this secret and how! I am personally not a very avid reader nor do I follow book titles, but this book, a friend suggested, got me into it right from page 1.
The Plot: a symbologist and a cryptographer know what lies in store for the, as much as you do.
The Story: Every bit is thoroughly researched and well built, each end is tied down and it leaves you guessing.
The man: Leonardo da vinci and his paintings are a major part of the story. The paintings, what they show and what they hide, very aptly described by Brown. The author shows us the prankster in him and how his character is inspired by him.
The reader: What the hell is happening?!!!
The place:Where each of us want to be at least once in life, Paris. The book starts its journey here and then takes you along to its destinations (thought to be), leaving you in a full circle. A must read to all art lovers and those who love letting their imagination wild of course with tons of suspense and thrill!!!!
Pros : page turner
Cons: invites few debates
