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. An added bonus would be the exotic locales of the story enshrined in the history of the Church as well as some enthralling connections to art. It was indeed a wise decision to structure the book in short chapters to give the reader a chance, in many cases, to absorb some the more captivating historical tidbits that play a pivotal role in moving this fast-paced story along. If you have a problem considering alternative points of view, especially in the religious arena, you may probably want to steer clear. But for those of you secure enough in your own ideas that you are hardly threatened by another point of view, I heartily recommend the book. It should stimulate equally interesting dialogue.
