The couple agreed to voluntary dismiss the lawsuit and 'any and all claims and counterclaims in this matter,' according to court papers filed Monday in a New Hampshire court. But if you have not read it yourself, consider reading it (it really is an entertaining book) before you offer it to a minor so you can decide for yourself if it is appropriate for them.Watch Video: Feelgood Entertainment Stories of 2021īOSTON (AP) - 'The Da Vinci Code' author Dan Brown and his ex-wife have agreed to settle a lawsuit in which she alleged he led a secret life during their marriage that included several affairs.

If you have read it before offering the book to a capable teen, well, you know what is on there. So until the reader is mature enough to get over those issues (or at least exposed to sex and violence depictions and are blasé about it), I would not recommend to teens younger than 17. It has some cultish information on anti-Christian theories and views that may be very objectionable to people who are religious, and some other religious cult presence that are presented as facts (it took me some digging as an adult to figure out it's a sensationalized theory) so one needs to understand what is presented is fiction with some theory, and not a fact. It has graphic descriptions of murder scenes, ritualistic sex, cult rituals, corporal self-punishments, etc, which I would be very cautious about offering to young teens.

But now as a parent of advanced reading tween and teen, I hesitate to recommend to young readers. It is fast moving, captivating action mystery that I could not put the book down. As an adult, I really enjoyed the book and recommend to anyone who enjoys murder mystery. This is a great fictional murder mystery book.
