I wanted an easy read for a beach-based vacation and this book was on the shelf of the Friends of the Library bookstore.  I had heard about it after the DaVinci Code frenzy.  While it has a similar premise–an old manuscript with modern consequences, it is set mostly at Princeton University among a set of undergrad friends.  It’s interesting and engaging enough, but I wouldn’t make it a must-read.
