Rating:  Summary: Simply amazing.......... Review: This was my first encounter with Dan Brown's writing, and it certainly will not be my last. This is one of those rare novels that gets you to think about your own beliefs, and has you racing to the internet for background information. Being non-religious myself, I found myself looking for information on the Holy Grail, and the way that Dan Brown interprets the Bible. Prepare to be impressed with his character development, and the history involved in his writing.
Rating:  Summary: Awesome Book Review: This was my first time reading a book by Dan Brown. I finished the book very quickly because I couldn't put it down once I started it. I had never heard of all the intricate histories of the Holy Grail and the Church conspiracy theories that went along with it until reading this book. Not only does the plot really keep you hooked, but you learn a ton about Christianity and Leonardo Da Vinci in the process. Definitely the best book I have read in over a year. I would recommend this book to everyone I know.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT READ!! Review: This was my first time to read a work of Dan Brown's and I have to admit that I am impressed.I picked up The DaVinci Code on the premise that it was a sort of historical mystery novel in the vein of Wilbur Smith's "The Seventh Scroll" which I thoroughly enjoyed. While a good number of people would question the accuracy of Brown's information with regard to the Grail, Opus Dei, the Priory of Sion, Mary Magdalene and other religious content, I merely took this as a work of fiction loosely grounded on some facts. Doing that, I have to say that Dan Brown makes the book almost impossible to put down. The character of Robert Langdon is compelling and has a lot of potential to carry off a series of books with him in the lead. The way Brown dangles clues and mysteries without giving them away immediately contributes to the building of a suspenseful atmosphere. It makes one anxious to flip pages to get to the answers. In my opinion, that makes a great book. I heartily recommend this book for those interested in historical fiction. But devout Catholics (like me) beware, one really has to approach this book with a lot of open-mindedness and understanding.
Rating:  Summary: WOW Review: this was one of the best books i have read in a long time. It is not for everyone though. One needs a open mind and a good imagination. This is not for someone who is content with the church, Brown has a lot a controversial points. Im at this moment finding all the books i can about the Holy Grail, and The Priory of Sidon etc... Definately a book hard to put down.

Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT Review: This was one of the best, if not THE best book, I've ever read! Mr. Brown has obviously done his research. The book is VERY interesting and thought-provoking as well as just being a good read. I've loaned my book out to my friends and they've commented on just how good of a book it is and how much they enjoy it. You don't want to put the book down! I HIGHLY recommend this book. You won't be sorry.
Rating:  Summary: unputdownable Review: This was one of the most interesting, bet paced novels I have read. Dan Brown hooks you from page one. I love how every time I thought I had everything figured out I was surprised by the next plot twist, and events I disregarded later came back with refreshing relevancy. The author made me feel like I was walking through The Lourve and travelling with the characters on their quest. Read this book, you won't be sorry.
