Daughter of God – Lewis Perdue

In the interminable hell called the internet, a decidedly brilliant correlation was made that a book called The Da Vinci Code was blatantly nicked from this novel written in 2000.

Having rather enjoyed most of Dan Brown’s work I decided to investigate the matter myself, considering the current state of human intelligence.

I was thinly disappointed that I couldn’t reveal the fraud to the copyright police. However, I suppose hindsight produces the fact that Mr. Brown’s book was released well over a year ago and he hasn’t been brought to question, should have in itself, been revealing.

The only similarity between both books is that they involve religious relics, nothing more.  To be perfectly honest, Daughter of God has more in common with Angels and Demons than it did with The Da Vinci Code.  Whoever started the rumour of the theft should quite frankly be dealt with à la witch trials. 

The novel itself is the usual someone-gave-me-something-that-can-get-people-killed, all with the obligatory romping through Europe coping with spies, the Vatican and the gods only know what else.  Typical plot twists of betrayal, denial and “Oh, baby I found you!” are also encapsulated within.  

Not earth shattering work this, but a good adventurous read for most.

Caveat: There are rare and large words as well as dubious (not to mention) veiled religious terms.

Ta,

Lolita
