The Asti Spumanti code

Kim bought me a copy of The Asti Spumanti code for Christmas, and I have just finished reading it. I'm not one for reading parodies, but I have to admit that I enjoyed it as a mild divertissement. I guess that the book only works if you have read the Da Vinci Code recently. Given that, you soon realise that Toby Clements skillfully mimics Dan Brown's style, plot development, and storyline with uncanny accuracy. The result is mildly funny, with some hilarious passages. It's only a thin tome, and a quick read, but well worth it.
