The Da Vinci Colt

I just read somewhere that a children's book about Leonardo Da Vinci is set to capitalise on the success of Dan Brown's best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code.

Who Can Crack The Leonardo Da Vinci Code? is touted as 'more historical' than the Brown novel, which has been condemned by some high-strung Catholic churchmen.

The book, by Austrian writer Thomas Brezina, gives young readers puzzles to solve in an 'interactive adventure'.

Brown's mystery has sold 15 million copies worldwide.

A spokesman for Prestel Publishing, which came up with the idea to link the new book with the best-seller, said it was a 'marketing tool' which is common in publishing nowadays.

Good God, I don't even have an opinion! Anyhow, let's finish this post with a cliche-ridden statement shall we? "Hai, dunia... dunia... macam-macam!"
