Summary: interesting plot, mediocre writer
Review: This is really a potboiler: the plot is intriguing and has lots of twists, but I kept getting annoyed with his writing. It felt like a movie script with lots of action but little else. This is a fine novel if you want to pass some time, but it is not well-written from a prose point of view.

Summary: An incredible book
Review: This is simply one the best books I've ever read and it has become one of my favorites.
Once I began reading this extraordinary book, I could not put it down. "The Da Vinci Code" has extraordinary descriptions of places and characters. As soon as I began reading this book I was inside a wonderful world of increasing intrigue and mystery. This book even encouraged me to do my own research about Da Vinci's life and about the places and paintings described. This is a book I'll never forget.

Summary: Robert Ludlum for Thinking Folks
Review: This is superb page turner with a lot of "food for thought" added in. An action novel that makes you think. No wonder it has been a best seller for so long.

Summary: For puzzle, numbers, and mystery lovers
Review: This is the best book I have read in a long time! I loved the way Brown intertwines a great mystery thriller with puzzles and history. From page 1, this is a page-turner. I had to keep forcing myself to put it down to get anything else done. I recommend this to people who love puzzles, number, history, and mysteries. Don't be scared off by the religious themes - the possibilities explored in this book are fantastic and well worth the journey.

Summary: Simply Wonderful!
Review: This is the best book I have read in MANY years, and I read lots of books. There is something to learn on every page that will boggle your mind and keep you wanting more. I find it fascinating that one man could store so much knowledge in his head! NO ONE will come away from this book lacking anything, only wanting more!

Summary: The best book I've ever read
Review: This is the best book I've ever read. It was both suspenseful and simultaneously educational. What a great way to convey information about art and religion that may otherwise bore the average person. I could not put this book down and I was sorry when it was over. I am looking forward to reading more Dan Brown novels.

Summary: The DaVinci Code
Review: This is the best book that I've read in 20 years or more. Dan Brown is amazing, intelligent, and a superb writer. I read several books a week and none come close to this man's overall skills. I stayed up all night to finish it. Rarely do I find something that captures my attention so completly. The book is a historical novel intertwined with a murder mystery - a combination that works well. If you can read just one book this year, this is it. I'm looking forward to reading his other books and have just ordered them. Dan Brown, you are my hero!

Summary: Could Not Put It Down.... six ( 6 ) stars, if available!
Review: This is the best intellectual thriller in a long time. This book has it all....murder, mystery, religion, art history, and puzzle solving. I immediately went to danbrown.com to check out the actual photos of the places and paintings he discusses in his novel. I've recommended this one to all my friends. Don't wait for the paperback! For a terrific murder mystery in paper-back, read Freeman's MURDER IN KEY WEST... it's got it all, as well.

Summary: Fascinating Read
Review: This is the best thriller I've read in years. Dan Brown presented a fascinating idea in a quick paced plot. I can't wait to read the earlier books on this subject.
