I wasn't expecting much from this book at first. Why would Fodor's review a book? But as I crept in from page to page it made perfect sense. The book evokes every scene and landscape in the Da Vinci code, bringing new layers of both the book and the scenes its set in to life. A totally engaging read. Even if you can't travel to Europe to explore this first-hand, this book will totally reel you in, making you feel like you've been there. It made me want to read the Da Vinci code again.
Who hasn't wanted to travel along with Robert Langdon as he explores the Da Vinci Code? Even if you can't insert yourself into the novel, you can recreate the adventure on your next European vacation.
The editor has done a great job in pulling together disparate material and making it cohesive and coherent.
This book is the perfect companion to the novel, and it will help personalize the movie experience if you have the chance to visit Europe. I found the Fodor's Guide to The Da Vinci Code extremely helpful on a recent trip to London, and I look forward to using it in Paris and other cities.
This is a poorly researched and badly written attempt to cash in on The Da Vinci Code phenomenon. It dishes up its so called insights into the Da Vinci Code like an overcooked pasta with a tomato sauce straight out of the can. And as a travel guide it is next to useless.
