The Da Vinci Cod

No that isn't a spelling mistake the book is really called so. It has the tagline A fish Parody. Even the author's name is a parody - Don Brine (Real name Adam Roberts). The book goes to painful extents to disprove everything the original book The Da Vinci Code but the pun and PJs in it are entertaining. Hilarious at places. I am very very tempted to spill the spoilers but will desist :)

One thing though, Don Brine suggests that this parody be made into a film and have the gorgeous George Clooney play the lead role. I'd say they should remake the original itself with Clooney. As much as I like Tom Hanks he wasn't convincing in the role of Robert Langdon or was it Robert Donglan? I can't remember now :)

My rating 3.5 on 5

DaVinci Cod seems funny...gotcha read it! However I couldnt get past book 3 of Dan Brown..got too predictable!
Agree with ur Clooney/Hanks opinion..:p I liked Angels & Demons - the movie better.
