Fascinating book. With a pretty sensible plot, that seems sensible, but the consequences ...well!
Jonny Hooker receives one of those letters, you know the sort we all get in our junk mail, and most sensible folk bin without even reading. But does Jonny do that, NO, he decides to "crack the code" and be THE winner. The book is based around what happens once Jonny has decided to crack the code.
Like the previous book of Rankin's I've read, he finds humour in every day life.
I haven't read The Da Vinci Code, (or even seen the film, ) but I'm guessing that this book is a skit on it.

I loved the book, and will read more of his in the future.
