Summary: Stellar!
Review: Wow this book is stellar!
From the day I bought Dan Browns newest novel The Davinci Code I have had a new out look on novels. I used to read books only for assignments in school, but never for enjoyment. After the first chapter this riveting novel grabbed a hold of me and I could not put it down! It starts off with a murder; Professor Robert Langdon (who is in Paris for a lecture) is called to help investigate this murder which leads to suspense and suprises beyond your imagination.

Summary: Inspiring - Captivating - Absolutely Superb!
Review: Wow! I am so turned on to the interesting factoids about Leonardo Da Vinci, Religion, Paganism, the Roman Catholic Church and more! I couldn't put this book down. It was a fabulous read, educational and full of suspense. I admit, it reads as if intended for a movie (wouldn't be a bit surprised!),but it's so damn good anyway. It truly charged me with interest in the topics mentioned above, I'm thirsty for more and researching! Take a chance, it's so worth it!

Summary: What a book!
Review: Wow! I could not put this book down. A real page turner through out! I raced to find a DaVinci Art book so I could get a closer look at his work--couldn't believe my eyes--its's true!

Summary: Gutsy...Educational...Exciting!!! Who could ask for more?
Review: Wow! I really enjoyed this novel. Not only did it appeal to my interest in ancient symbolism, but it kept me riveted the entire time I read it.Brown is a masterful story teller who clearly intends to educate readers on the origins of "the mysteries" while fully engaging our attention. I personally love books that have meaningful depth and character, and am impressed that his references are so accurate and well researched. Well done! I highly recommed this one!

Summary: Utterly gripping!
Review: WOW! If you're in the mood for a few cheap thrills -- this book will certainly provide it. There's not much character development, but the pacing and plotting of the narrative is so tight, it's like a literary equivalent of Raiders of the Lost Ark! I've never been propelled through a novel so quickly in my life! Truly a fun, fast read! Take a moment to enjoy it! Other recent Amazon purchases I enjoyed: Life Of Pi, The Losers' Club by Richard Perez.

Summary: You HAVE to read this book!
Review: Wow! This is an absolutely breathtaking book. I read it in just ONE sitting the other night. I could not put it down! I was ignorant about Da Vinci's symbolism and "inside jokes" as well as those of Boticelli and other masters whom Brown mentions. But after reading this book, I am planning on delving further into these issues! And that's saying something, because I am the least religious person you'll ever meet. Dan Brown has an incredible gift for storytelling as well as an impressive handle on the facts. That's what makes this book so compelling: the story itself is fictional, but the foundation of it (the symbols, stories, and organizations) is real and historically accurate and well researched. Just because this book deals with religious symbols, please do NOT be turned away if you are not religious. It's not preachy or heavy or any of that other nonsense. Believe me. It's fused with mystery, suspense, and historical facts. (The epilogue will make you smack your forehead and say "of course! It's so obvious!")

Summary: fiction with true history makes this a suspenseful story
Review: Wow! Two stories in one book...one is a fictional murder mystery with puzzles and riddles while another is based on true biographical/historical artifact and documentary. A great read that was hard to put down. Enjoyable and fascinating if one hasn't been privy to the real Knights Templar story and the Holy Grail. It made my head spin!

Summary: A Page Turner
Review: WOW! What a great book - so good that it deserves my first review! The mystery surrounding the death kept me intrigued until the end! I loved the riddles that were used to solve each step of the mystery. I found the content of information and facts regarding the evolution of the catholic religion extremely interesting. Once I started reading I couldn't wait to get to the next page. I was the 7th person in my family to read it and have already recommended it to over a dozen friends. This book is money well spent! A great mystery that is not easily solved, contains interesting facts and is very well written.

Summary: Help, I've Started and I Can't Stop...
Review: WOW!! It took three pages to get hooked on this book. Then 106 chapters to get unhooked. Every page is exciting. You've GOT to read this book, right now!! Good old Robert Langdon is at it again. He is up to here in adventure and mystery, and bad guys, and beautiful women, guns, and secrets. Besides, he gets around a lot, even without trying. He's got new friends, Sofia, Teabing, Silas, etc. No hints on the story in this review, just excitement about how good and entertaining this read is. I couldn't stop. I carried it around with me, 5 minutes here, 4 hours there, 30 minutes here. There was no escaping until I finished. Even then, I thought about the book for weeks. As in "Angles and Demons", the research is complete and total. Exotic places and well known places. If you've traveled, you know these sites. It's like being there. And the story line, well, never does it go where you expect, think or guess. And fast paced, sound moves slower. Have no fear about reading this book, you'll enjoy it, or maybe you should be afraid, because if you have something else to do you may be in a quandry. I'm telling you, it's impossible to put this book down. Hat's off to you again Mr. Brown!!!
