Dinner With Da Vinci was definitely not the book I expected. To me the title suggested that this work was either a knock off of The Da Vinci Code trying to make a few quick bucks or a book with some sort of insight into the life of Da Vinci. Therefore, I was extremely pleased when I realized that I wasn’t going to have to read another tired rendition of the Da Vinci Code, a book I loved but felt that everyone and their dog was trying to replicate.
My pleasure was quite short-lived. The book starts off in a fairly new and interesting way. Da Vinci is actually a man who the author feels is the reincarnation of the great man. Well, I thought someone has to be Da Vinci, why not this friend of the author’s ex-husband.
Then, the author starts stating some of her own reincarnations. They all seem to be famous people and some even overlapped in time (evidentially, she was a dual soul when she was Kennedy and her present self). In fact, all of the people that the author seems to come across seemed to be famous people in their past lives. Some were even people most of us thought had ascended such as Jesus, the historical Buddha, and Mohammed. Gee, if they couldn’t transcend, what chance do the rest of us have?
