"What is history, but a fable agreed upon?" Having recently heard that the Catholic Church is up in arms about The Da Vinci Code, I thought it was about time I had a go at reading a book that has stayed atop the best seller lists for weeks all over the world and has generated tons of controversy.... more
Only Way to read the code! I received the Illustrated edition of Da Vinci Code for my birthday and I am so glad I read this edition. It was very helpful to have the works of art to see as I read, made it the code much clearer. In fact, I can't imagine reading this book with out... more
A Tale of the Grail Fasten your seatbelts. This book is one heck of a ride. _The Da Vinci Code_ is more than a journey in search of the Holy Grail and far more than your typical murder mystery/who-dun-it. It concerns the history of the Priory of the Scion, an extraordinary... more
Good fun It's amazing how much stuff you can do in just one night in Europe. Assassination, secret societies, car chases, airplanes hijacked and flying all over the place, great misteries. After all, this book is good fun. There is nothing really serious about... more
Good and Bad Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code" reveals the controversial and fascinating history of early Christianity in a fast paced murder mystery. His research shows how Mother Earth became a man's world when the goddess was banished from the temple. The... more
Good writing versus bad history and controversial thesis. THE DA VINCI CODE is the 2nd book in a series of books surrounding the character of Robert Langdon. Langdon made his first appearance in ANGELS AND DEMONS and not only single-handedly saved the world, but helped "reform" the Catholic church as well.... more
"unputdownable" Action sequence in the story already started on the first few pages of the book. Nothing catches a reader's attention more powerfully than a dead man posed as the Vitruvian Man and the sign of the pentacle at the same time. And what better place to... more
Unbelievable Book There is no question that everybody should read this book. It is very entertaining and full of very peculiar facts (assuming that they are true). The writer skilfully turns religious history (highly sensitive and mostly boring subject to read) into... more
DaVinci Code A fascinating murder mystery where the victim has left important clues to those who remain alive. Only Robert Langdon, an expert on the Holy Grail, can help solve the multiple riddles of curator Jacques Sauniere. The reader will be captivated by the suspense... more
Excellent reading I could not put this book down. It made me proud to be a woman ;o) I think that it is a must read for every one.

A STUNNING AND INTRICATELY PLOTTED THRILLER... For a while I resisted reading this book, thinking that it could not possibly be as good as its hype. Well, I was wrong. This is simply one terrific book that will keep the reader riveted to its pages until the very last one is turned. It is a very well-written,... more
Curious about all the fuss To say this is a work of genius, as I've heard, is an overstatement. Sure, it's a fun book. There's a lot of action. There's a sufficient level of drama. Dan Brown's writing is such that the reader is brought into, and through the story, at a frenetic... more
Even better than the original... I read this as a hardback, and when I saw it was offered with illustrations, ordered that too. I'm one of those that finds the facts revealed in this book fascinating. Whether what is revealed in this book is fabricated or truth, it's still interesting... more
Fascinating Historical thriller!!!!!! I finally broke down and read the book of the century!. This book is a wonderful, historical, FICTIONAL NOVEL. If read with that in mind, it will fascinate you. Should you choose books based on reviews, then beware that it has twisted the undies of conservative... more
one of the worst audiobooks ever Amazing how suspense and pace of a novel can be destroyed by
a narrator, for whom the word pronounciation seems to be unknown. the book is chilling, a pageturner, the audiobook is boring. dont
ever let this person read a book again, please.more
Excellent, Thought-Provoking Thriller!!!!! The Da Vinci Code, an exciting, thought-provoking tapestry of intrigue is a surprisingly easy read given the rather lofty subjects, art and religious history.
To his credit, Dan Brown has woven an indelible tapestry of murder, art, and religion.... more
another mystery... I definitely enjoyed this book more than Angels and Demons. For me, time seemed to linger by and moved so slowly to accommodate the events. I can understand now the controversy that the book created as it hits a major belief of Christianity.

The Da Vinci Code- audiobook I was surprised that the production of this audiobook was so bad, considering the mega-selling status of the book. Only one person does all of the voices, which wouldn't be too bad, but for the fact that the narrator's French accents are straight out... more
Just OK Robert Langdon a symbologist and Sophie Neveu a Cryptologist are paired together to solve the mysterious murder of a very respected Louvre Curator. Before dying of a bullet in his stomach, he has time to leave clues around the museum so that a secret... more
Novel, not innovative Very well written and well paced, but poorly researched and rather contrived. Interesting, but essentially just a formulaic page turner.
