People get excited about the Jesus/Mary Magdalene connection. Fine. The actual writing is ponderous and heavy handed and the climax sort of fizzles out.
I had a hard time putting this book down. I think you have to enjoy Dan Brown's conspiracy theorist writing style to get into the dialogue, but much like Angels and Demons and The … more
Dan Brown's mystery writing skills are shown off in the Da Vinvci code. Robert Landgon goes around the Vatican trying to solve many cryptic messages, including ones involving Da Vinci. The best part … more
Back in high school, I was the member of a book club, and some of our older members had recently become aware of Dan Brown’s works and suggested that we all read The Da Vinci Code together. Not … more

Warning: The book is not like the movie... read the book first, at least. :) Fast-paced novel, with many symbolic references, but easy to understand. Absolutely loved it, but don't take all the "facts" … more

Manipulate facts with fantasy is bad, build up a heresy is low blow. One of the biggest offenses that make thousands of empty minds believe that is true. Dan Brow is very good at writting suspenses but … more

interesting yet far fetched view of Christianity. Will keep you on the edge of your seat. Keep an open mind when reading and try to solve the riddles before the characters! :)
this movie not only looks at the world around us to create it but into the history of the world. you can watch this and say i stood there on that stone. it puts you right into the supence as well.
I loved this book. It was a bit tough for me in the beginning, only because there was so much French at the beginning, but it has become a favorite of mine.

A person would have had to be living under the proverbial rock not to have heard about this book. It was first a very famous novel and then it was made into a critically panned movie. The fact that many … more

I was extremely unimpressed with this novel. It seems like Brown just vstrung together a bunch of sight seeing tours into a novel. He added a weak protagonist and a ridiculous story too. Very unhappy … more
