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. A young readers' edition of The Da Vinci Code, intended for teens, was released in the United States in 2016 and eliminated much of the sexual content. The book was adapted for a 2006 film starring Tom Hanks, which spawned a 2009 sequel, Angels & Demons. There are mentions of ritualistic sex, and graphic violence includes several brutal murders a splayed, naked dead body and a religious zealot engaging in self-harm with a cilice (essentially a spiked chain) tightened around his thigh at all times. It weaves a controversial hypothesis about the life of Jesus that challenges the notion of his divinity, and it portrays the Catholic Church as suppressing this alternative narrative. The novel has ideas that may be intellectually confusing for kids, and even many adults. Parents need to know that Dan Brown's mega-selling The Da Vinci Code is a complicated thriller written for adults and involves clues embedded in the artwork of Leonardo Da Vinci.
