Rating:  Summary: Read the dust jacket Review: Good book. Suspensful read. Let-down ending. Also, too many contrived lectures between the characters. It was a lot like a watered-down version of Sophie's World and really dumbed-down version of Foucault's Pendulum. But for that it would have been five stars. BTW, there are more clues in this book than many realize. Check out the dust jacket liner notes for one. Notice any oddly bolded letters? Also, what's the significance about the number of pages? More here than meets the eye of many of the reviewers. BTW, got through the six levels of the website in 22 minutes....
Rating:  Summary: Remember: This is FICTION Review: Good plot. Easy, interesting read. However, keep in mind, that the "facts" presented here about Jesus are not new nor have they ever been proven. But that's the great thing about conspiracy theories isn't it? The lack of real evidence is only more proof of a cover-up!
Rating:  Summary: Why do I bother? Review: Good reading makes for good debate. If a book can challenge your faith, it's either a really good book or you have some issues to work out. So, it's funny that when this author of fiction expresses views that run contrary to popular religion, the zealots will scream blasphemy-it's a heretical book to be avoided by Christians! In the same breath they encourage people to open their minds...but only to the teachings of Christ, the bible and the church. (I'm not sure in what order; I'm still trying to sort through the inconsistencies that each present.) Apparently the sources of divine inspiration run in limited quantities and can only be found in select locations. Good god, if some are that stirred by this book it's got to be amazing, right? Well, it's a good read. But the real mystery is why some are so offended by this book and author. You would think that someone is coming to take their children....or their faith, perhaps. You won't find the answer to life in this book. Then again, i suspect that you won't find it in any other book (ohh, how blasphemous!) including the latest from Dr. Phil (double blasphemy!) But that's not why you are reading this book. It's a novel! OK, just calm down you nuts. No, it's not the author's main purpose is to cast doubt on the validity of the Christian faith. (I cannot profess first hand knowledge of this.) And if the church and bible cannot withstand the First Amendment, good luck surviving the test of time (and faith). No one in his right mind is going to make a religion out of this book. But if they do, I'll join it, if for no other reason than to stir up the debate, and expose insecurity and lack of faith.
Rating:  Summary: good, except for last 20% Review: Good story, except for the last 20% of the book. At that point the author starts to have the characters to things they would not do except to mislead the reader. In the book earlier part of the book the readers get the same information that the main characters do, however at this point in the book the author withholding information the characters do.

Rating:  Summary: The DaVinci Code Review: Great book! Make sure you also read Angels and Demons.
Rating:  Summary: Page-turner of a book! Review: Great book, but don't think it's something you can start and stop from time to time. Well-written in plot, descriptive in setting and characterization. I loved comparing with friends who figured out what and when. Highlight...find others who have read this and compare notes on who would play the screen version.
