The Da Vinci Code

[altariel]

33 pages in and nobody told me it was funny! Many examples, even this early on, but this is my favourite:

The car sped onto a wooded section of Rue Castiglione, which served as the northern entrance to the famed Tuileries Gardens - Paris's own version of Central Park.

What other examples could there be? The Eiffel Tower - Paris's swift retort to Blackpool? Stonehenge - Salisbury's very own Foamhenge?

The albino hunchback assassin on page 3 was a high point from which there was really nowhere to go but down.

I did keep expecting another Igor to turn up though. I'm sure Sam Vimes could have done something with the case.

It does read like a Pratchett! Only, you know, not intentionally.

He got a fantastic bit:

Andorra, he thought feeling his muscles tighten. Incredibly, it was in that barren and forsaken suzerain between Spain and France, shivering in his stone cell, wanting only to die, that Silas had been saved.

That's, like, poetry.

Faith an' Andorra!
