Does this remind you of The Da Vinci Code?

[Misael Carlos]

Yes, it does. I have never liked The Da Vinci Code because of the plot. So when I saw the cover and the title of this new book, it did not hold an appeal to me. If these books are entirely different in plot and what have you's, then I believe it could have used a different cover.

[Kibet Hillary]

It does bring to memory the valuable piece of art. To me, it does remind me of the Da Vinci Code and that is what came to my mind when I saw the book title.

[Bianka Walter]

Anything that relates remotely to Paris, Da Vinci, the Louvre or religious conspiracy theories reminds me only of the Da Vinci Code. So I wouldn't be the right person to answer this objectively.

[Laura Del]

I think there are a couple of similarities, and I can see where you're coming from. However, I think they are two different experiences.

[thaservices1]

Not even remotely. The DaVinci Code was a thrilling intelligently written novel based on actual academic study. This book is a cutesy romance with a simple fate driven plot.

[nikkyteewhy]

I think the similarities only go as far as the name DaVinci used by both books. While Da Vinci code is deeper and has a richer content, the girl who knew DaVinci is superficial.

[dgallois]

When I read the title of the book, the first thought I had was it sounds like The Da Vinci Code. I agree there are some similarities but I believe this one is more on the romantic side.

[Mailis]

I remember, after reading the Da Vinci Code, searching desperately for similar books to read, so this might not be a bad thing. I think it owes some of it's popularity to the fact it gives those associations.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. However, Dan's books generally comprise of mystifying turn of events whereas this one is much simpler compared to Da Vinci Code. But yes, there are similarities, only minor.

[Kristy Khem]

I think the only similarity is the art setting. The Da Vinci Code is more detailed and thought-provoking. A lot more mystery in it also.

[Chigozie Anuli Mbadugha]

The name reminded me of the Da Vinci code instantly. However, the storyline is very different and the only similarity between them is in the name.

[Callistus Ibenye]

Haven read both books, I think the book bears only a minute similarities with the davinci code.

[SereneCharles]

It sure does, and it's one of the reasons I won't read it. I didn't like Da Vinci Code.

The Girl Who Knew da Vinci has a more simplistic plot with few clues and a beach read-style romance element. The Da Vinci Code contains historical subject matter that has been well researched

I read the discussion topic and was scrolling down to write my opinion, when this summed it up completely. While this book is enjoyable, it's a light read when you don't feel like concentrating. The Da Vinci Code is in another league completely, not only for the incorporation of historical facts, the believable mystery that makes you question whether it could actually be true, but for most importantly, the style and quality of writing. Other than the basics, I don't think they compare

[Shraddha_rc]

I think the only resemblance is the name of the great artist. the two books have different themes so I don't see a necessity to see common things

I totally agree with you. I was so engrossed in this book that it left me little to no time to find similarities. Besides the themes are different and just the names are similar, in my opinion.
