The most attractive thing for me is its unique plot and perfect imagery. In the middle of the book the plot becomes complex and vague

I always have great love for Da Vinci books. He's a reputable writers.This would be a great book for teenagers. They would identify themselves with the discussion therein considering the rapid number of today teenage relationships.

I am not a lover of art myself. but have seen interesting reviews already. Just hope i will like

I liked the idea of our past lives coming forward to lead us to where we need to be. The only thing that I really did not like about the book was that Angela's attitude bordered on bratty teen more often than grown adult. Her mood swings were a little off putting.

I enjoyed reading The Girl who Knew DaVinci, it was a great mystery. I would necessarily call it a thriller, or suspenseful but I was eager to keep turning the pages to find out what happened . There is a great deal of budding romance within the book in both time periods but the book was focused heavily on the mystery at hand. Very well written and the transitions from present day to past were done very well. Easy to follow, very captivating!

Good response JR. Taking a chance on something I would not normally have read often opens a new door for me. Its a good way to expand our horizons and learn new things.

I loved the book , if you love mystery with a bit of romance this book is for you. Every page makes you want to know what happens next. I recommend this book.

When I picked this novel up, I was hoping for a suspense thriller, so I was a little disappointed that I had to wade through a romance novel to get to the thriller. I felt as though the story picked up about half way through, and that overall the story was good. I didn't love the book myself, but I believe that those who like their thrillers with a heavy dose of romance and time travel would probably enjoy it.
I liked Fioretta and Giuliano more than Alex and Angela, and wish the story had centered a little more on them. The book was well researched with a pretty good storyline, but I felt the character development of Alex and Angela was weak and relied too heavily on their archetypes (damsel in distress and hero). They lacked any kind of real depth apart from you just accepting a girl waiting around for her infallibly noble and strong hero to race to her defense.
I actually gave it 3 out of 4 stars because I felt that although I found the characters wanting, they were okay enough to get you through a pretty good story.

I like the artistic side of the novel because of its association with da vinci. The mystery elements in the novel is also not what I would normally look for as they are based on the paranormal. So that would have to be the downside to the book.

This is a good book. I love mystery and adventure kind of stories because they connect with the reader. You get to know the characters, which makes you feel not just familiarity with them, but loyalty – you want them to win. This book is interesting because of its twists and turns and unpredictable events that could affect the audience. I would recommend this book.

I definitely agree with people saying that it combines several Topics and Genres, thus making it more interesting. Also saying that it's a good way to expand our horizons and learn new things, is absolutely true in my opinion ! However it is not as romantic as it is more so sexual. I think people confuse these two terms !
