Summary: Good, not the best, but a good read
Review: I think this is a book worth reading, not necessarily because it will win Pulitzer prizes (no such luck) but because it is creative, easy to read and intriguing in a way that a lot of books are not these days. I read this book while away on a business trip and it filled my nights after hectic days of work. I recommend this book for someone who just wants a fun thriller that is a page turner and not so difficult to follow that you need to be on your toes while reading. The premise is intriguing enough to make you want to delve in and the twists and turns are suspenseful enough to make you want more. Maybe the character development leaves a little to be desired but what is there is fun and entertaining. Makes me want to buy another Dan Brown book when I am on a trip and looking for good company when I am away from my husband! As a lawyer, difficult, complex reading is what I do at work. I like the energetic novels for nighttime!

Summary: A Fun, Quick Read
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in a weekend. It was like an Indiana Jones movie in that it's this wild adventure on a quest for sacred things. Don't get tripped up by the history. A lot of negative reviews are saying the author got it wrong. Well, this is a work of fiction, based on some historical facts and events. It says quite clearly at the beginning of the book what is fact -- the religious groups and the architecture. Don't get wrapped up in fact vs. fiction, just enjoy a fun, interesting story that might actually make you go, "hm...?" at the end.

Summary: Angels and Demons is better!!!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. However, I do feel it got too much hype and is slightly over rated. I read Angels and Demons first, and I loved it. I found the DaVinci Code to be too similar to Angels and Demons. It was almost the same....only they changed the characters names around. I would recommend Angels and Demons over the DaVinici Code. I felt that The DaVinci Code dragged ona bit and was not as gripping and intriguing as Angels and Demons!!!

Summary: A clever and coherent thriller
Review: I though The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown was a clever and coherent thriller from the murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum through the sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. Very entertaining. Here's another book that's filled with codes, mystery, and it's a fast paced fantasy that will blow you away: Dragon Man The Adventures Of Luke Starr ... check it out it's on amazon.com as well ... you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I thought DaVinci Code was one of the best books I have ever read. Having been raised Catholic and always having questioned womens role in the church I thought this book brought an excellent perspective to the doubts I have had since I can remember.

Summary: Remember it's FICTION
Review: I thought that this was a very well written book. It's full of interesting riddles, puzzles and intrigue; it's a real page turner. Dan Brown obviously knew that he'd sell a lot of books when he wrote about such a controversial topic.
The danger in this book lies in the fact that some people might read this book and be tempted to think that some of it is true.
The author has put in just enought "facts" that people might somehow think there could be truth in this.
I spent more time researching the subject matter in this book than I did reading it; far more. I suggest that anyone who is tempted to believe the premise of this book should do the same.
I don't want to wreck any part of this book for someone who hasn't read it yet; but I think it's important to put out there one of the many pieces of research I found.
The main person this book revolves around is Mary Magdalene. The author states that she is portrayed in the Bible as a prostitute and how this is a cruel thing that man has done to degrade her and women etc. etc. If Dan Brown would have bothered to even pick up a Bible when he was doing all of his so called research he would have found out this major point of his book was totally false.
Within two minutes of picking up a Bible that has a concordance and looking up Mary Magdalene, you will find out the Mary who was the prostitute, (who washed Jesus' feet with her hair) is NOT even Mary Magdalene. They are two different people. This is only one of the many incorrect suppositions in this book. I couldn't possibly list them all the the 1,000 words I'm allowed for this review.
I don't want to make more of this book than what it's supposed to be, but I guess I'm disturbed by the number of people on here and the internet who have said 'this book makes them think that there could be some truth to this.'
The only thing people should be thinking is true about this book is that it's an entertaining piece of fiction.
And for the record, I have bought literally hundreds of books from Amazon and have never written a review. I usually have no trouble separating fact from fiction. I am not having trouble separating it in this book. I'm troubled by people who may. This book is receiving a tremendous amount of press and apparently some people have found enough small truths in this book to get them thinking the rest of it might be true also. Please take this book for what it is, FICTION.

Summary: Stupid, Absurb, Ridiculous and Overrated
Review: I thought that this was one of the most stupid books I ever read. The plot stunk. The history so faulty it was laughable. The characters were boring, underdeveloped and tedious. The riddles were the most ridiculous and predictable. The conclusion....ho-hum.Don't waste your time

Summary: Poor John Sebastian
Review: I thought these were supposed to be reviews of the book not insults of other reviewers "Keep opinions about other reviewers, Christians and just downright common-sense people to yourselves!"
For the definition of HYPOCRISY please see the review by poor little Johnny boy, who seems to have no interest other than bashing The Da Vinci Code and other reviewers. Grow up! I thought this was a pretty good read though a bit dull at times but taken with a grain of salt it was indeed entertaining. I would recommend it only to people who understand that this is not a factual discourse on history.

Summary: A Great Page Turner
Review: I thought this book was a great read. PROS-1) You can't help but read it. You will find yourself looking up any kind of info on Leonardo Da Vinci. 2) The way that Dan Brown beautifully describes all things Euro is amazing. 3) It will make you question, even if it's for a brief moment, Christianity. CONS-1) The absurdity of explaining things to an expert who is suppose to know about said saubject already. I realize that it's for our benefit but c'mon. 2) The guessing games both Robert & Leigh play, not only with eachother but with others, when time is not very bountiful. 3) The sexual tension between Robert & Sophie. I won't spoil anything more. Overall, it was a great read. I couldn't stop reading it. Enjoy & good reading!!

Summary: WOW
Review: I thought this book was awesome! Hard to put down? YES.... I finished the book w/in 24 hours. I can't see anyone not liking this book. I'd have to say the only reason (IMO) one might not like it, is the fact that it could make you question your faith in Catholism. I thought this book was an interesting & fun read, considering I have for a number of years questioned and researched on my own about the council of cicea, priory of sion and symbolisms.
