The Da Vinci Code

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Murder mystery malarkey as dead bodies and painting clues point to the dispelling of Christianity. Tom Hanks goes on the hunt.

ANY GOOD? A bloody tricky book to convert, and it shows. Atmospheric and enjoyable, but also clumsy and flat. Like extra meat feast pizza with unevenly spread topping.

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'Tom Hanks stars in big budget American film!'

REASON TO WATCH: You can't be arsed to read the book.
