The Impact of the Truth

If there was anything that was different in The Da Vinci Code, the effect would not have been as influence. What made the book so captivating was the partial truth to it. Without it, people would have just seen it as another book left on the shelf. The reason it was a successful novel was not because Dan Brown knew the whole truth about the secret in Mona Lisa's smile. It was because he knew how to make his readers think, and knew what they could possibly think of. He is a skillful exploiter of the truth. Preparing the book with interesting facts, readers start to believe everything the author says.
