This book was pretty good. I am really into the art historical language and references and this book definitely delivered in a clever sort of way. However, it lacked a LOT compared to the hype. For one, there is minimal character development. Besides Sophie's lost family and Robert's Mickey Mouse watch there really isn't a lot of meat there. Also... has Dan Brown gotten laid like ever in his life? This is a book of sexual innuendos. Sex goes hand and hand with art but when a man stand up out of his chair do you have to say “he stood erect”? Jesus Christ... Literally. Not a super stimulating (ha) read for all the hype over the years.
