The quintessential Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci sprinkled his artwork with references, clues, and secret messages that helped sell forty million copies of The Da Vinci Code. The man himself is just as fascinating as his work, and in this wonderfully creative and imaginative collection packed with puzzles, games and quizzes--including some of those incredibly addictive Sodoku--you'll unlock the mysteries behind the genius. Who was the model for the Mona Lisa? Did Leonardo really invent modern aviation? Who inspired him? All of the answers are here, and deciphering them is a blast for both kids and adults.

The Da Vinci Book: 97 Quizzes, Games, & Puzzles (Quiz Book),
This review is from: The Da Vinci Book: 97 Quizzes, Games & Puzzles (Quiz Book) (Paperback)
I expected more puzzles, but the book is filled with questions that relate more as a biography quiz than anything else. A good book for someone who has written a biography but a little boring for anyone who is not into the minutae of DaVinci life. LOTS of date specific questions.

As I was checking out what was new in my bookstore,I came across this one of a kind book mixed in with the numerous Sudoku books that have shown up and continue to arrive unabated.
I haven't seen anything else quite like it.It is a small book of 176 pages but jam-packed withall types of puzzles,games quizzes,pictures,drawings.It has 97 puzzles,etc.,all dealing with DaVinci,the man and his work and the popular book "The DaVinci Code". Every type of puzzle has been employed and used to come up with puzzles,games,and what not to test your skill. Yes, there are even Sudoku puzzles based on DaVinci. Can't do much more about describing the smorgasbord of puzzles you'll find in this little gem;except to tell you that if you are into The DaVinci Code and all that goes with it ,and at the same time enjoy trivia,word puzzles and other sorts of challenges,you won't want to pass it by.To find this book,don't look in the Fiction section of your bookstore. You are more likely to find it in the Puzzles and Games section along with books on Sudoku and Crossword Puzzles. Answers are given to all the puzzles,but explanations of the answers are often left to the reader.This would be an excellent book to pull out and enjoy with others who think they know something about the DaVinci code and all the surrounding controversy. Then, on the other hand,after you've done all the puzzles and know all the answers ;you'll be the expert.That is until others discover your great source of wisdom.Have fun!!
