The Va Dinci Cod

So far nothing about this book is funny or even midly amusing. I've only reached page 30 and I'm already irritated beyond relief. The author seems to use a little trick that, I suppose, he believes is funny. The trick consists of adding useless pieces of information about a certain event. For example: at one point Sofie puts on the light (+/- p.25) and then the author continues to explain what electricity is in detail. This can be funny once or twice, but by page 16 he had already used the same trick 4 times and it didn't stop there. He constantly interrupts the story with this useless chit-chat. I haven't gotten far into the book and I'll try to get at least halfway through it, but I'm not promising anything!

I read the The Da Vinci Code because I couldn't resist the hype. But it just wasn't my kind of book. It was an easy read and enjoyable but that's it.
Last Saturday I found The Va Dinci Cod, a parody. And that's something I see the fun of, normally I will enjoy that. And this time as well. Just a funny read in long, strange and heavy days.

Very funny, suspense mystery, clever parody, a must read for both, "Da Vinci Code" lovers and opponents.
