Da Vinci Code (the Young Adult Adaptation)
Da Vinci Code (the Young Adult Adaptation) | Dan Brown
Dan Brown s mega-bestseller is now available for a new generation of readers. This young adult adaptation takes readers from Paris to London on a breathless tour of famous landmarks and will remind fans everywhere why the "New York Times" calls "The Da Vinci Code" blockbuster perfection. Publication timing connects to the film release of "Inferno"! """The greatest conspiracy of the past two thousand years is about to unravel."""Robert Langdon, professor of religious symbology at Harvard, is in Paris to give a lecture. At the reception that follows, he is scheduled to meet with a revered curator from the world-famous Louvre museum. But the curator never shows up, and later that night Langdon is awakened by authorities and told that the curator has been found dead. He is then taken to the Louvre the scene of the crime where he finds out that baffling clues have been left behind. Thus begins a race against time, as Robert Langdon becomes a suspect and, with the help of French cryptologist Sophie Neveu, must decipher a mystifying trail of clues that the two come to realize have been left specifically for them. If Robert and Sophie cannot solve the puzzle in time, an ancient truth could be lost forever and they themselves might end up as collateral damage. Praise for the adult edition of "The Da Vinci Code" WOW . . . Blockbuster perfection. An exhilaratingly brainy thriller. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase and coaxing them through hoops. "The New York Times" A new master of smart thrills. A pulse-quickening, brain-teasing adventure. "People""

I cant seem to find the differences from the original one. But they say this is a watered-down version.

This is called LAZY author and Lazy publisher. Taking an adult book and rewriting it for teens. So infuriating.

AmberJoy I'm not sure I understand how it would even be adapted? 8y
LibrarianRyan @AmberJoy exactly. It's just a money grab. The dumbed down the wording and cut pages. At least that is what it looked like at BN. 8y
BookishMarginalia I know! So unnecessary. He should have just written a YA series. 8y

Not sure what I think about a YA adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, but I bought it and I'll read to see what's different.

britt_brooke What I can't figure out is why the original would be unsuitable for a young adult audience. Curious to see what you think. 8y
Godmotherx5 I agree with @britt_brooke I'm pretty sure my brother read it as a teenager. 8y

twohectobooks This is so odd. I also read this as a teen and there wasn't really anything "inappropriate" in it. I wonder if he made the protagonists teenagers and added a love triangle or something?! 8y
Peddler410 @twohectobooks no, the main characters are not teens. I might have to find the original and read them simultaneously. 8y
twohectobooks Looking forward to your thoughts! 8y

Did the world really need a YA version of The Da Vinci Code?!?

rachelm Nothing in that book is too sophisticated for a young adult to understand. This isn't Balzac or something 🙄 8y
Kitta 😂 wtf 8y
DivineDiana What will they think of next? 8y

GlitteryOtters NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 8y
WanderingBookaneer There are YA versions of Nicholas Sparks... 8y
MrsV So agree @rachelm 8y
Karen3 @WanderingBookaneer how can you YA a Nicholas Sparks book? 😳😳 8y
Zelma @rachelm nicely put! I don't understand that at all! Maybe they took out some of the self-flagellation scenes? 8y
Zelma @WanderingBookaneer @Karen3 is there sex in Nicholas Sparks? I've never read a YA version of an adult book so I don't quite understand. Do they make it easier or just remove stuff? 8y
Readingismyescape 😑 ugh! 8y
Vexingcircumstance I thought Nicholas Sparks books were YA to begin with..... 8y
WanderingBookaneer @Karen3 @Zelma @Vexingcircumstance : I have no idea how they are different—I never read them—but I got 2 titles at a teaching conference a few years ago. One of them was A Walk to Remember which, in its original form, is pretty YA as it was. 8y
