Entertaining the Alien

22. Codex, Lev Grossman

If I'm going to keep reading books that are touted as another Da Vinci Code (and I have a couple waiting for me right now), I should really probably read The Da Vinci Code at some point. Thrillers revolving around old literature are very big now, in case you're like me and didn't notice that fact at all.

Codex was solidly okay. I didn't feel any real connection to the characters, and at times I was confused by the abruptness of some of the action (why did she just say that? Why did he just do that?)--which got annoying--but overall, it was a pleasant way to while away a few lunch hours. Definitely light reading. If anyone wants to borrow it, I'll bring it home, otherwise I'll probably toss it back on the free pile where I found it.
