Summary: A great Book
Review: This Book was great once I picked it up I could not put it down it had a good plot from beginning to end and everyone should by it I know that Christians are up in arms and are saying it is offensive being one myself I can say that it did not offend me in the least and was a great read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Intelligent and Fun Read
Review: This book was great. The mysteries in the book will keep you reading well into the night. It's very fast paced and exciting to read. The facts are well mingled with this fiction and are blended to keep you thinking about the book even after it's through.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Read
Review: This book was great. There. All of my thoughts put into five words. It was so good that I managed to finished of in two days. Whats more, I was only able to do that with the Harry Potter books. Every one should read it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poorly Written Book
Review: This book was highly recommended to me and I couldn't wait to read it. I could barely make it through. While the symbology and art aspects are interesting, it was very poorly written. Lousy character development. The plot started out good, but completely fell apart. I suspect that people who love to hate the Catholic Church and the Vatican are the ones enjoying this book. I'm amazed it's so popular.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Interesting History Lesson- Pathetic Mystery Story
Review: This book was obviously written with the film rights in mind. it starts out with a somewhat interesting premise, but rapidly becomes completely unbelievable. The detectives and prime suspect all do things that strain my ability to suspend disbelief beyond the breaking point. The history and explanation of the hidden codes were interesting, but could probably be explained better in a straightforward and scholarly book better. The story started out unbelivable and got worse from there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And I learned stuff too!
Review: This book was one not to put down. It was the first of Dan Brown's books I have read, and I guarantee it will not be the last. The way in which the author weaves in facts and historical theories is amazing. I enjoyed the story and learned a lot too. Perhaps Mr. Brown should try writing texts books, I guarentee students would retain a lot more knowledge if he did!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome
Review: This book was one of the best books I have ever read. It has some very interesting ideas in it. Overall the book was Awsome!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Epitomy of a Page-Turner
Review: This book was one of the few great books that I have read lately. It was the perfect combination of mystery, thriller, and historical fiction. The fact that the book is written in real time adds to the excitement. The different points of view that you experience gives you just the right amount of information...explaining things and yet withoulding enough to keep you guessing. I couldn't put this down and with my busy life the fact that I read this in 2 days really says a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book was one of the most intriguing, suspensful, intelligent, and well-written books I have read. It was absolutely worth my time and money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Absolutely Ridiculous - Beyond Belief
Review: This book was one of the worst books of all time. I can't believe anyone found this book "gripping" or "suspenseful." Don't waste your time!

Could anything be more ridiculous? Here, a couple of people, in 48 hours, "solve" the Holy Grail mystery. All this is done with 2 jokers who suddenly learn how to shoot guns, roll out of cars, jump out of a plane, decode anything and everything in matter of minutes, (except the most obvious so the reader could decode something in the book), and whatever else came into the author's fractured brain.

Talk about fracture. His historic events should be called Fractured History. The errors were so off that I found myself laughing out loud while reading.

And, the white albino? Does the author think that the reader is in awe from just these words, "the pink-eyed, white albino?" He must have written those words about 50 times in the book. Hello! an albino IS white.....idiot!

I'm not even going to the offensiveness of the book for Christians, Catholics or anyone of certain faith. But, why isn't there an outrage by Catholics similar to the Jews with Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ?" At least Mel's movie is historically correct. This guy doesn't get even one fact right, starting with DaVinci's painting "The Last Supper.

Oh well, just don't waste your time unless you all you want is one big laugh at the absurdity of it all.
