2. The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown
(I have the same reason for reading both of these books by
Dan Brown)
Rationale:
My freshman going to my sophomore year summer I read a book
called the “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown. When I read this book, there were
times where I was happy and interested, then there were times when I wanted to throw the book
against the wall because my emotions played in factor while reading this book.
I deeply enjoyed reading this book over my summer between 9th and 10th grade
because of the mystery, the codes breaking and the riddles that Robert Langdon
(main character) solved only in a limited amount of time. But what I didn’t
know was that there was a series to this book. The Lost symbol was the third
book so I picked the first two books of the series (which are provided above)
before reading his new that Dan Brown just came out with called Inferno the
fourth book to the series.
