I am really intrigued by the investigation part of the book and i love how the author is changing the characters point of view each chapter. The suspense has been incredible so far. I was really surprised with the major twist half way throughout the investigation when the Sophie Neveu told Langden that he was the primary suspect. I think that the huge twist made me really hooked on to this book.
Until the time Sophie came in, Langden was trying to make sense of the message, but he couldn't understand the numbers int he beginning. Fache and Langden were having a serious discussion on how the deciepher the code.
Just then Sophie walked in and told Langden that he had gotten a message from the American embassy. She told him to call the embassy but in actuality she gave him a message saying that he was in great danger. She told him in the automated message to go to the bathroom an wait for her. Sophie told Langden that he was the primary suspect in the case. She then told him to look in his coat and he found a GPS chip. This showed that they were tracking all of his moves. She also told him that Bezu Fache was recording their conversation. He was so shocked. Lastly before she left she showed him a picture of what Fache took a picture of and erased at the crime scene. All this really changes the readers view towards the book, it just became 10 times more interesting
I read this book last year and absolutely fell in love with it. I find the study of the various symbols and artifacts to be what really gave this book the depth it needed in order to excel. I too enjoyed the various plot twists and twists and turns, the ending is an absolute shocker! If you loved this book I highly recommend reading the next in the series, The Lost Symbol, which also features Langdon. I just started it over break and was immediately hooked. I learned so much from these books about various secrets the world has kept from us. The Lost Symbol features the Masons (not the comets, ha) a secret society in DC, which reminds me o the DaVinci Code's focus on the Holy Grail and the mystery behind that. Dan Brown truly takes you on a journey with his novels and explores depths that many writers have not even discovered. I hope you enjoyed the novel because I know I did.
