Book cover.
The Book
The novel version serves as a prequel to the Da Vinci Code and I did not realise this after I finished reading the latter! However, like the Da Vinci Code, the story also fascinates me as I learnt more about the Illuminati and their aim.
It was also great to see Vittoria is not the typical Damsel in Distress, but she has a mind of her own and I'm very happy for her!
The Movie
In a contrast to the book, it's serves as a sequel to the Da Vinci Code and there are also a number of differences in it, like Leonardo who is Vittoria's adopted father in the book, became Silvano Bentivoglio and is not related to Vittoria.
Patrick McKenna was originally Carlo Ventresca, but his motives are still the same. Vittoria is also not captured but follow Robert everywhere he goes, the ending is also different.
Film or Book?
Spoiler alerts! If you neither seen the film nor read the book, I would definitely recommend you to do both.
Scary!!!
