After enjoying the Da Vinci code, I believe this book is a must read for me. Thanks for the great review, the suspense in the story from your review makes me want the book like a dog wants a bone.

Well-written review! I am not a fan of the Da Vinci Code and this book seems very similar. Also, the liberal use of curse words is not appealing to me.

Very Interesting title and review. I am eager to know Mona Lisa's secret. Going to grab a copy immediately.
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

This seems set to join the ranks of novels inspired by famous paintings. I love learning about the symbolism in art through this genre.

Great review. It seems like an interesting book to read. It reminds me of the Da Vinci code. Intriguing plot and with a twist of mystery on it. I'm looking forward to add this on my list. Thanks for sharing it.
