I really liked it. I was put off by the paranormal aspect at first but then was kind of swept away by the mystery. After that, the paranormal parts became less important than finding out what would happen.

It is an awesome book, during reading this book you feel like romance and mystery. Images are placed in this book with perfect imagery.

In the spirit of the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and the Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro, blended with an unforgettable romance. The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami unravels a compelling mystery with an emotional love story.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. I was very happy I chose it for the first book I was to review for this website. I loved how the different elements in the story were so very well put together. It was definitely a page turner for me. The only thing I didn't like is that we didn't get to see more of the past relationships. I would definitely read a book about those. The characters were well developed and the story unfolded naturally. I would absolutely recommend this book to others!

I quite liked this book. I was definitely thrown by the paranormal aspect, but felt that the mystery therein quickly superseded its importance in my mind. I would absolutely recommend it to friends that enjoy mysteries, art, or history.

I was put off by the teenage/fanfic style of writing. The style would be fine in an online story, such as the ones involving characters like the BBC's "Sherlock" or even "Dr Who", but not serious literature. The plot was all over the place and each scene seemed like an excuse for some quick yet dangerous snogging with a reckless lover! The whole time travel idea was even more confusing than Kurt Vonnegut's much better-written Slaughterhouse Five.

I have not read the book yet, but from what I gather from the reviews and ratings, I think I will add it to my to-read shelves. It may be interesting to have a go at the multi-genre aspect of the book.
Btw, bookowlie's review impressed me the most. Thank you.

Although I have some reservations, I still enjoyed Belle Ami's story, which allowed my imagination to run wild with the amazing tastes of different foods and wines of past and present - day Italy; and I look forward to reading more of the author's works. I would also recommend "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" to other readers but with the following disclaimers: (1) This book is not unique or original. Ami's work has some similar elements to "Saimdang" and "Possession." (2) Although Ami claims to have just "a touch of sensual heat" in her works, the number of sex scenes actually overwhelms the story and limits further character development.

I think it's better to add more intimate scene that attract more reader.

I'm not hugely into art / history, do you think that would put me off reading this book or can you enjoy the mystery in spite of it?
Personally, I am not sure you would enjoy the book if your not interested in art and history. Although I say this, I do believe stepping out to another genre is sometimes worth it. I have found myself reading novels that I would not have chosen a year ago. I feel like broadening your horizons may be a good thing.
