But perhaps all those Elsie Silver books in the summer has really warped my expectations when it comes to fictional love stories.
Samantha SearHOST
Something entirely unrelated, let's totally sidestep that topic, was the latest Dan Brown book, The Secret of Secrets.
Samantha SearHOST
Now, when I was staying at my father-in-law's, my husband bought it for me to while away my daughter's naps while everyone else was on the beach.
Samantha SearHOST
I don't mean to sound like a cooped up trad wife here.
Samantha SearHOST
I will say that thrillers aren't usually my thing.
Samantha SearHOST
And although I love The Da Vinci Code, which I think I read almost 20 years ago now, and that sentence is scary and so depressing, I found Angels and Demons to be a rehash of the former, and Inferno was a disappointment, probably made worse by the price that I had just paid for the newly released hardback.
Samantha SearHOST
But The Secret of Secrets was on the bookshelf of the supermarket because it had just been released in paperback, and it's now covered in my son's colouring pencils that I had taken with us.
Samantha SearHOST
There is so much factual information in there that I found fascinating.
SarahHOST
You know, there is a book by Dan Brown that you and I both just read.
SarahHOST
The Secret of Secrets.
SarahHOST
Is that what it's called? The
VinnieHOST
Secret of All Secrets? I can't remember, but I love that.
SarahHOST
I do basically believe that that's what happens, which is why I think also, live your best life.
SarahHOST
You're not guaranteed anything afterward.
SarahHOST
It is the secret of secrets.
SarahHOST
Nobody really knows what happens.

Grace ChonHOST
He's one of the most mainstream authors in the world.
Grace ChonHOST
He wrote a book last year called The Secret of Secrets, and it was all about the idea of consciousness and it existing outside of the brain.
Grace ChonHOST
He turned it into a fictionalized story of the government using these powers for bad, [laughs] as the government would do.
Grace ChonHOST
But just the fact that one of the most mainstream authors in the world tackled this topic, I'm like, "Okay, there we go.

Today it is a place known especially for its open air playground and sports hall of the same name, but long before children played here or athletes trained in the local sports hall, vines and apricot trees covered these sunny hillsides.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
And deep below them lies something very different, a Cold War bunker that recently became part of a global literary mystery after American author Dan Brown set part of his latest novel, A Secret of Secrets, right here beneath Folimanka.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
And that, I think, may actually change the fact that very few people heard about Folimanka before.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
From the practical point of view, I got here from, uh, the I.P. Pavlova metro station.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
And that's how the present Folimanka Park was born, a kind of mix of lawns, trees, fountains and playgrounds that turn what had once been a vineyard and construction site into one of Prague's most cherished urban oases.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
[upbeat music]So while I'm telling you this, uh, story of Folimanka, I've actually descended along the steps that lead to the Folimanka shelter.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
And that is the place where Dan Brown placed some of the most dramatic scenes in his latest novel, Treasure of Treasures.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
But, uh, since I don't want to spoil your fun if you decide to read the book, let me just stick strictly to the facts about this mysterious underground structure without betraying what sort of activities, uh, CIA, according to Dan Brown's novel, was, uh, doing here or is still doing here.

Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
It's quite a short walk, I think about 10-15 minutes.
