Summary: You Must Be Kidding
Review: THIS is the book everyone's talking about? You're kidding me. I've read at least a dozen mystery/thrillers this year better than THE DA VINCI CODE. The plot - about a religious sect seeking to keep an ancient secret hidden - comes right out of a Saturday morning cartoon. And the characters are about as believable as an honest politician. I saw where the story was going from the first couple of chapters - most intelligent readers will too. It just goes to show you that popularity isn't everything.Antelope Jones

Summary: Supreme
Review: This is the book that stimulates learning in many forms. It forces a reader to contemplate beliefs and understandings on religion, politics, history, geography, mathmatics, art, technology, truth, lies, secrets and wisdom to name a few. The book is impossible to put down. Dan Brown is the ACE of authors. I recommend that everyone read this book. This is an expertly written book that will be discussed for a long time. It inspires a reader with a quest for learning that continues after you finish the book. See if you can finish the book without researching the art of DaVinci. It will be one of many things you will want to learn more about.

Summary: This is a fictional book. Do your own research, if you must
Review: This is the first book by Dan Brown that I have read, and I was really impressed with the research he did on numerous topics to make his book a page turner. I will do my own research on The Priory of Sion, Opus Dei, and the alleged marriage of Christ and Mary Magdalene. I am a catholic and have had my doubts about the religious teachings I received as a child, so reading Dan Brown's opinion does not necessarily sway me from mine. It just makes me want to know more about what the church forbade me to read when I was in elementary school, high school and college.
But, I ask this question: What is truth? "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still"... sorry but I don't remember where I read this missive. Anyway, this book is fiction with a lot of factual information used to provoke the reader's mind to thought.
So what if there are contradictions, and inaccuracies? Dan Brown has written an amazing detective story that is thrilling and instructive at the same time. He has my vote.

Summary: Will keep you on the edge of your seat
Review: This is the first book by Mr. Brown I've ever read and I read the first 20 pages the first night I read it. Just reading the excerpt on the web site I wanted to read more of this book. The mixture of history, intrigue and non-strop action kept me deeply interested in this book. It was great!

Summary: Absolutely Amazing!!!
Review: This is the first book I've ever read by Dan Brown and I'm happy to say that it won't be the last. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down. Very few books can have that effect on me. Immediately after reading The Da Vinci Code I went out and purchased Angels & Demons and Deception Point, also by Dan Brown. I can't wait to finish these two books. And Dan, come on finish your next book already :-).

Summary: Don't expect much depth or coherence
Review: This is the first fiction I have purchased in years and the shallow quality of this writing reinforced my purchase ethics. Characters were so thin and undeveloped as to be cartoonish, the 'clues' and 'connections' seemed to have been chosen by lottery and gooped together in silly ways, from whatever stack of notes was handy, or
dinner conversations remembered. This is the last time I fall for the media hype....I heard this book recommended on NPR I think, so I was truly shocked when it turned out to be sloppy rather than a well crafted conspiracy tale. It was however, a delightful revisit to the Louvre galleries and Westminster Abbey's hallowed halls, crypts and floor tombs.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I will never look at the "Last Supper" painting the same. You enlightened me and opened my mind.
Merci!
