    I am quite sure you also read that part about the grandfather and grandmother when the latter riding on the grandfather?

    This is a practice that men love very much, of course from my point of view.

    For me this book was like a good designed adventure game starting like a tourist guide of Paris. But for a mathematician or somebody from the IT-field it must me boring. As I saw the numbers, for me it was clear as cristal water that it is Fibonacci. And at the end when they were in front of Newton I knew that it is apple.

    The only thing I was interested in was the interpretaion of Last supper. That was great.
    My first irritation started when it was said that the grandpa was 57 and Sophie is 32 Could it be that the grandpa is Sophie's father?

    The age factor didn't register in my mind! The puzzle solving was interesting. Yes the descriptions of Paris museum & Westminster Abbey gave the impression of visiting the places in reality!

    Yesterday finished reading Robin Cook's "Marker". He aptly points out the possible abuse ofthe latest genome decoding discovery. He makes one to shudder!

    Yes, Cook's books gives one so much fear about callous practices in big hospitals that most of us begin to view any genuine action in a big hospital with suspicion! My daughter & I had strong hopes of her delivering her 1st baby in the normal way and the doctor of that posh hospital with American backing had her admitted well before 2 weeks before due date for observation of her slightly swollen foot & began surreptiously making preparations for Caesarian section(that's what we truly suspected!) we adamantly got her discharged on the false pretext of her mom-in-law objecting to the inauspicious day! Later in another hospital where my doctor neice worked my daughter delivered by Caesarian!( loss of amniotic fluid the cited reason!). Her next delivery was in a different town in a different hospital facility, again Caersarian because the doctor didn't want to take risk after her previous surgery when her membrane ruptured prematurely.

    Our main obsession is kidney theft! Thanksto movies, books & newspapers!

    In India normal delivery like in our days is becoming a rarity, except in government hospitals, as my doctor sister points out! Loss of amniotic fluid & uterine inertia are some of the reasons given. But surprisingly my neices who delivered in US had normal delivery. Again it is because the hospitals there are fully equipped & very advanced technologically that, my doctor sister explained after watching her daughter's delivery there, that they dont hesitate to take risks! To be more clear, on being disappointed with all caesarian deliveries in my family for my daughter & daughters-in-law, when it suited for me & my sister to observe my 2nd daughter-in-law's delivery I was hoping for normal delivery since the labour started on due time & she had been under extra care because of gestational diabetics. With poor progress of labour the doctor put heron drip and with poor success opted for surgery after a few hours. In between us my sister shared her experience in US during her daughter's delivery where the drip was administered at a speed my doctor sister herself was awed, with fast administration of many bottles to induce pain she delivered normally. In the case of my daughter-in-law the drip was at a very slow speed with no result at all! Uterine inertia was diagnosed and surgery done. We suspect the drip was an eyewash to pamper my preference! Not many doctors are that courteous!

    An unintended long digression pouring out my personal grievances!!!

    The chase in the book was good. Does anyone here know that the movie version of the book has been delayed as there is a copyright allegation against the author. Looks like he has lifted the entire idea and the architecture from another book which was again a best seller.

    Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln, the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982) are responsible for the delay. They claim that Dan Brown stole the idea of the Holy Grail being the bloodline of Jesus Christ through Mary Magdalene from their book. If you have read both books, you would be inclined to pay attention to their claim. We have to wait for the verdict.
