Da Vinci Code

Conspiracy, detective fiction, thriller

                This week I finished reading “The Da Vinci Code”. I was very satisfied with the ending and the events that led up to it. Langdon, Sophie, Sir Teabing, Remy and Silas landed in Teabings hangar. The police checked Teabings plane to see if Langdon, Sophie and Silas were on board, they found nothing. The three of them had run into the limo before the police arrived. They went to a temple church to try and find their next clue. When they had gotten there Remy turned out to work with the “teacher” like Silas did. Silas and Remy attacked Langdon and Sophie and took the cryptex and Teabing as a hostage. Teabing was actually the teacher but no one except Remy knew that. Silas went to the Opus Dei headquarters in London to pray. Teabing killed Remy and tipped of the police about where Silas was. He entered the actual building the clue led to and tried figuring it out. Langdon and Sophie searched the web for a knight whose funeral a pope attended. They found out that it was Sir Isaac Newton’s tomb and they went there. Teabing held them at gun point once he found them in the tomb. He told them about his plan to find the Holy Grail. He then requested that they join him but Sophie did not agree. Langdon received the cryptex and started thinking about which side he should be on. He threw the cryptex in the air, Teabing ran for it and caught it. The vinegar inside had already disintegrated whatever was inside. Langdon held the map that was in the cryptex in his hands, he had opened the cryptex and took it out before. They followed the clue and it led to Roslyn a church in Scotland. Sophie found out that her grandmother and younger brother were still alive and they lived near the church. She was reunited with her family. Langdon was puzzled because he could not find out where the grail was. He spoke to Sophie’s Grandma and she told him that one day it will dawn on him. He later found out it was hidden in a secret area of the Louvre.

                I was very satisfied with the ending of the book. Sophie was reunited with her family and Langdon knew where the grail was. When Langdon threw the cryptex I thought that it was over, they would never find the grail and I was very sad. Then Langdon pulled out the paper from his pocket and I knew that they would find the grail.
