The Da Vinci Code

by Dan Brown

I now know why I couldn't even get through this book reading... listening to it wasn't any better. Dan Brown just didn't do a good job with this book, it wasn't very riveting. I absolutely LOVED Angels and Demons and thought this would be just as good but it just lacked the intensity of his other books and was very much written like a screen play. Listening to it was like listening to an episode of 24, all of this happened in 1 day? Robert Langdon just happened to be there, all these people just happened to fall together?

The story had some great potential but I think this book lacked the mystery and intensity of Dan Brown's other books.

The Heretics Daughter

by Kathleen Kent

This book I listened to on CD and it was a good story, however it was very dark. Being about the Salem witch trials.

The book is written as a letter from Sarah Carrier to her grandaughter about her and her families experiences in the late 1600's during the witch trials. I thought the books was a little bit long and I was very sad at how Sarah's family was so uncaring towards each other until tragedy came and then I felt they were close because of guilt.

I did not care for this book.
