Title: The Da Vinci Code
Product review: For all of Dan Brown's "remarkable research and detail" I was lost at Chapter 3 when he "skimmed south past the Opera House and entered the Place Vendome" on his way to the Louvre. The last time I looked, the Hotel Ritz was in the Place Vendome and the Opera House was several blocks north in the wrong direction from the Louvre. So, why did the gendarmerie drive Mr. Langdon north from the Ritz around the Opera House, then south through the Place Vendome past the Ritz to reach the Louvre? Applying the Magellanic Code of Circumnavigation, I have come up with three possibilities: a) Langdon was really staying at the Ritz Best Western which is located north of the Opera House near the airport; b)2+2 really does equal 5; or c) someone didn't consult a map of Paris as part of the research for this book. It sort of spoiled the rest of the story for me.
