Summary: Absolutely amazing
Review: i loved this book, usually i'm not into suspense, but this really knocked off my socks. I could not put the book down for a second. And I'm a college student taking a full class load. It was just amazing. I highly recommend it to people who beleive there is more out there that we don't know, and want to see all the different things that most people never realize. The research that went into this book was incredible, and made me really understand how much work goes into a book like this one. A must read for all levels of readers.

Summary: The DaVinci Code
Review: I loved this book. I could not put it down. I read many online reviews and cannot believe people are getting caught up in the fact that it's not all based on fact, etc. This book is FICTION!
There are many things BASED on facts, but it's FICTION! Enjoy it for what it is and you're in for a wonderful read! I was hoping the ending would not disapoint me and I was thrilled that it didn't. It's a must read for those who love to read for the enjoyment of it.

Summary: da vinci code rocks
Review: I loved this book. It's fascinating and suspensful from beginning to end. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. My curiosity is peaked about art as it relates to the history of the Catholic church, symbology, and specifically the mystery of the Sangreal. What more do you want from a mystery suspense thriller?

Summary: A book that does what it is supposed to
Review: I loved this book. Why? Because it did what a book is supposed to do. It was entertaining, and took my mind off the "real" world for a time. That is what a book is supposed to do and this one does just that.However, it also made me do some research...a book that makes you think...now there is a novel idea! I did research on DaVinci, and looked at his art and writings in a whole new light. I also did research on the various other Churches and socities mentioned...by doing that I learned some quite valuable history. I have barely scratched the surface of what I intend to learn from this book, and I look forward to researching even more. Thank you Mr. Brown for giving me an opportunity to LEARN.

Summary: I highly recommend this novel.
Review: I loved this novel. The author Dan Brown put so much research into the events, documents, religions, art work, and factual information so the readers could receive accurate information. The description given in the story made me feel as if I were there, whitnessing all of the action. This novel is thrilling and suspensful up through the very end. Many people recommended this to me and after reading it I definitely recommend this to you.

Summary: So this is what Professor Jones has been up to lately....
Review: I made the mistake of reading too many reviews about this book before sitting down to read it myself and that's a mistake I won't make again. This book is one fine piece of entertainment! While reading it I couldn't help but be reminded of the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark." This book is that same sort of mixture of fun, adventure, lots of cliffhangers, codes, mysteries and a few conspiracies thrown in for good measure. Just as in the Raiders movie, I did not know whether any of the biblical references, etc. would hold up in court nor did it really matter to my enjoyment of the film. I don't believe in the theory that the Holy Grail actually refers to Mary Magdalene or that she and Jesus were married but it made for an interesting twist to this novel. I would also like to add that I am Catholic and found nothing offensive about this book. At most, the author intimates that the Catholic Church is an organization with its fair share of fanatics, secrets and power struggles but that is true of all religious groups. This is certainly nothing new. I actually thought the author was very respectful, especially in his portrayal of Bishop Aringarosa. Again, a major part of this book's appeal for me was the word games and the search for answers to the cryptic codes. I'm looking forward to the sequel!

Summary: The Da Vinci Code
Review: I made the mistake of starting this book one evening. Luckily, it was a Friday night, because, once started, you can not put this one down. The characters are believable and three dimensional, the writing is fast and crisp, and the plot leaves your heart racing. The head of the Louvre is murdered in an inaccessible part of the museum, but that is not the mystery. He has also taken off his clothes, arranged his body so that it would be found in a certain position, and has written a message in his own blood. Then the plot gets interesting!

Summary: Let's not read more into it than the author intended ....
Review: I mean after all it's an 'Indiana Jones' kind of adventure book in search of the ubiquitous 'Holy Grail' ..... I guess the teaser that the author puts in the front of the book about the fact that the artwork, the existence of secret Cathlic 'societies' is completely real and truthfull, is what may have put some people off .. but please give me a break, IT'S NOT A TEXTBOOK .... The fact that the book is based on reality which is then stretched and artistically massaged by the author makes this book stand out above the norm of today's fiction that usually have disclaimers abaout everything being a lie 'no matter what you want to believe or think you may believe' ..... Without getting into the meat of the story I found the book to be easy to read as the author spins tales of secret societies such as Opus Dei, The Templar Knights ... magical hidden treasures and messages hidding in the Louvre, underneath the palace of Herod and thi the top secret vaults of an unpenetrable Swiss Bank with the ever famous anonymous accounts, in Paris. It's such a pleasant relief in a fiction NOVEL of today to actually incite the reader to think and daydream of times past while enjoying a wonderfull well written mystery ......
