Summary: This is a fictional book. Do your own research, if you must
Review: This is the first book by Dan Brown that I have read, and I was really impressed with the research he did on numerous topics to make his book a page turner. I will do my own research on The Priory of Sion, Opus Dei, and the alleged marriage of Christ and Mary Magdalene. I am a catholic and have had my doubts about the religious teachings I received as a child, so reading Dan Brown's opinion does not necessarily sway me from mine. It just makes me want to know more about what the church forbade me to read when I was in elementary school, high school and college.
But, I ask this question: What is truth? "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still"... sorry but I don't remember where I read this missive. Anyway, this book is fiction with a lot of factual information used to provoke the reader's mind to thought.
So what if there are contradictions, and inaccuracies? Dan Brown has written an amazing detective story that is thrilling and instructive at the same time. He has my vote.

Summary: Will keep you on the edge of your seat
Review: This is the first book by Mr. Brown I've ever read and I read the first 20 pages the first night I read it. Just reading the excerpt on the web site I wanted to read more of this book. The mixture of history, intrigue and non-strop action kept me deeply interested in this book. It was great!

Summary: Absolutely Amazing!!!
Review: This is the first book I've ever read by Dan Brown and I'm happy to say that it won't be the last. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down. Very few books can have that effect on me. Immediately after reading The Da Vinci Code I went out and purchased Angels & Demons and Deception Point, also by Dan Brown. I can't wait to finish these two books. And Dan, come on finish your next book already :-).

Summary: Don't expect much depth or coherence
Review: This is the first fiction I have purchased in years and the shallow quality of this writing reinforced my purchase ethics. Characters were so thin and undeveloped as to be cartoonish, the 'clues' and 'connections' seemed to have been chosen by lottery and gooped together in silly ways, from whatever stack of notes was handy, or
dinner conversations remembered. This is the last time I fall for the media hype....I heard this book recommended on NPR I think, so I was truly shocked when it turned out to be sloppy rather than a well crafted conspiracy tale. It was however, a delightful revisit to the Louvre galleries and Westminster Abbey's hallowed halls, crypts and floor tombs.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I will never look at the "Last Supper" painting the same. You enlightened me and opened my mind.
Merci!

Summary: Sensational!
Review: This is the kind of book you loose sleep over - I couldn't put it down. The plot is fast paced and keeps you wondering every step of the way. The only problem I had, was trying to decide whether to spend time on the incredible details and history or keep going to get to the end. One thing is certain - I will re-read this book for the history and the plot!

Summary: Amazing suspense....
Review: This is the most suspenseful book I have ever read. And the story of the church and the Holy Grail... who cares if it is true or not? Who cares if some of his facts are not right? This is a fiction book, and a book you just can't put down! I suspect most of the criticism comes from people who don't want to see their faith challenged, or people that criticize this book based on factual truths/"untruths". Read this book for what it is... a fine work of fiction that uses the legend of the Grail to weave a masterful story. Do not look at this book as a scholarly doctoral thesis on the Grail... Do not look at this book as a religious scholar.
The book is an awesome story, the best suspense book I have read. I highly recommend this book for everyone!!!
