Summary: Indiana Jones meets Tim LaHaye
Review: In this book all the players are "bad guys." The troubling thing is that it makes you pull for one set of these bad guys as though they were "good guys." Otherwise fun to read and full of interesting historical data. HOWEVER....the book IS fiction. Don't let it mess with your faith.

Summary: Incredibly fun read!
Review: Incredibly fun read from Dan Brown that once again brings back the main character Robert Langdon from his previous work, "Angels & Demons". This time Langdon must figure out the mysteries of a secret society before some of mankind's greatest truths are lost forever. The story begins with the assassination of the curator of the Louvre, one of the most famous museums in the world. Langdon is called in by the police and the daughter of the murdered man to assemble and decode the clues left by the curator within some of Leonardo Da Vinci's greatest works. From there the reader is taken on a non-stop thrill ride as the men behind the assassination come after Langdon while he also attempts to flee the authorities that have named him as the primary suspect in the murder case. It is not difficult to see why this book has remained on Amazon's Top 10 best-seller list for months and months now. It is a fun read that makes you really think while you are being entertained. I can't wait for the next installment in the Langdon series. Enjoy this great read for yourself!

Summary: Pass on The Da Vinci Code
Review: Initially I was drawn to this book because it been a best seller for so long. As a born-again christian, I was deeply hurt by this book. It just breaks my heart to see blashamy go so main stream.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Instead of writing a long explaination of the plot (you can read all of the others), I will simply encourage you to give this book at try. I am an avid reader, and honestly, difficult to impress. However, this book was fantastic! I couldn't put in down and read it in one sitting! Much better than a typical thriller and very thought provoking!

Summary: Interesting and enjoyable
Review: Interesting and enjoyable if you have a taste for historical mystery and drama. Read it straight thru until 3am which is a good sign - I didn't want to put it down. Reminded me of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (which was way too long). And to R. Posey from New York, WTF? Anyone who writes a 5 paragraph review about a book they did not like - including this nonsense: "How did it cross the equinoctial border that divides summer reading from autumnal brooding?" probably shouldn't be ripping on the writing skills of a best selling author.

Summary: Da Vinci Con
Review: Interesting background viz. the sacred feminine. Horrible mystery writing. Spend your time and money reading Neal Stephenson.

Summary: COMMON SENSE PLEASE!
Review: Interesting fiction but this does not pass the common sense test as any sort of real research. Why? ........... Well let's connect the dots: Historical Fact: The most skeptical atheist theologian would accept that at least 4 of the apostles died for their faith. St. Peter being crucified on Vatican Hill will be the example here. Psychiatric Fact: There has never been a case of multiple people hallucinating the same thing at the same time even attempts with modern drugs. ERGO: Christ's appearances were not hallucinations. SO: Jesus was resucitated, pretended to have risen from the dead and and his followers went around starting a cool new but bogus religion while Jesus went to live in the south of France with a babe. AND THEN: Nero thought the Christians were a pain in his rear so he rounded up Peter, their leader and had him crucified (no fun) in the Circus. BUT: Peter could have told where Jesus was and surely bargained his way back to a quiet fishing job on tne Sea of Galilee. But he decided to die a tortuous death to protect a guy with a babe on the French Riviera. RIGHT! Antone who takes this book seriously ............. ?

Summary: The Da Vinci Disaster
Review: Interesting for the first 100 pages. After that, the plot quickly loses steam. I expected more theory and research, much in the way Graham Hancock writes in "Fingerprints of the Gods," or "The sign and the Sea." Here, there were absolutely no references to where Brown received his information. His theory is interesting, yet is merely an opinion. THe book contains interesting "side-notes" of academic worth, but even these are not sufficient to salvage the disaster that is the main plot. Though provoking, yet highly disappointing.

Summary: Interesting....
Review: Interesting how people fall for this stuff and walk around calling it "historical". Research the alleged conspiracies and you will see. I found it to be not "historical".
It a fictional book wrapped up in the guise of non-fiction and laden with inacurracies and prevarications.
