predictable, but fun This book started off with an exciting premise - dead body, science, religion, all of it - but it was very predictable (yes, I've read the Da Vinci Code) - it wasn't that hard to determine who the bad guy was, who was going to be elected Pope, etc. - on the other hand - it was fun to read, and a page turner - read it for the entertainment, and that's all - the only thing I'm not wild about with Brown's writing is that he has little faith in the reader - he explains way too much, and answers questions for you - sometimes during his character's monologues I found myself wanting to skip ahead for the action - he might want to realize that people who read his books are not dumb. Plus, he seems to off the deep end at the end of the book (did in Da Vinci Code as well) - both of these books would make great movies because I believe Hollywood can tone down Brown's "preaching" and stick with the action.
