Summary: Controversial and compelling...
Review: With the recommendation of family and friends, I finally read The Da Vinci Code. This book has become the hot topic of debate and seems to be quite controversial in the religious forefront. Some might say this is just another crazy conspiracy theory against the church or just another wild goose chase for the Holy Grail. But, this book is so much more. It opens the door for many to understand our history closer to the way it happened versus the way it was previously written. It challenges the MEN of the church, NOT Christianity. I am a Christian and yet, I found this book to be the simple voice spoken to the common person bringing forth truths that have been buried for centuries. This book teaches its own lesson just by the writing of it: Look past the characters towing the story along and read the real message. That applies to religion as well. It doesn't matter why you read this book (the suspense factor, the controversial enticement, the religious tinge, the information, or just because) and it doesn't even matter if you believe what it says, but, READ IT!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting and very well written.
Review: Without a doubt, The Davinci Code is one of the most talked about novels of the year and for good reason; this is an outstanding book, exciting, mentally stimulating and very well done.

The plot has symbologist Robert Langdon as a suspect in the murder of a Louvre museum curator.

To find the real killer, Langdon must decipher clues that he finds hidden within art and artifacts while evading a secret society that wants him dead.

You won't want to put this book down! It is outstanding!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb read
Review: Without any doubt this was the most enthralling and gripping read I have had in years. It is a well paced thriller, in the real meanbing of the word, written by a master of his craft who has obviously done his in-depth research well. Once you suspend your disbelief about the demonstrable fantasy of the Priory of Sion, the rest falls into place in an enthralling and delightful manner. All with any interest in esoteric history, whether the serious researchers or the fans of the Holy Blood and Holy Grail, should enjoy this delightful romp through the groves of medieval obfuscation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it for its strengths
Review: Wonderful art and religious history. Long overdue take on Christianity. Wonderful main characters. Two-dimensional secondary characters. Great plot twists.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The DaVinci Code
Review: Wonderful book for a long drive. Not too technical or complicated. Good pacing with several twists and turns. It kept us guessing to the very end. We put the first CD in the player and waited in the driveway after we got home to hear the ending.

Summary: Great stuff
Review: Wonderful book. It sucked me right in and didn't let me go until I was finished. Interesting factual bits, also, that make me want to read more on them. The charactors are wonderful, and as he mentions early in the book, Harrison Ford would be perfect for the leading role if this were made into a movie. You must read this book!

A note to a few of the complainers: Mr. Brown has an extensive biblography on his web site, so yes he didn't make this stuff up, and before claiming his facts are totally wrong you should look at his sources. Also, to the person who claimed that the bloodline of Jesus becomes non-important if He is not divine, you obviously forget that even if He's not divine, He still is a desendent of the long line of kings - that makes His bloodline very important.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Page turner;quick read
Review: Wonderful book. Was recommended to me by umpteen people.
WOrth all the praise.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful: no doubt Brown stretches some truths though
Review: Wonderful from beginning to end. Not only a good story, but I learned a lot of fascinating things. The other critics are no doubt right that Brown stretches some truths to make the novel work but...Altogether I thoroughly enjoyed it and I recommend it highly.
I'm going to the store to buy Brown's other books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful work!
Review: Wonderful. Dan Brown is almost as good as Grisham.
