The atmosphere, the clever use of art & historical research in a fiction, the pace, make this book an effective adhesion to the hands as well as to the eyes.

Amazing, very cleverly written. Made me think about what we are presented with everyday and how easily this could be crap. Loved it

<<<----(this should be a 10)
the da vinci code is clearly the best novel ever written! believe me, by the time you get to page 11.........youre hooked! and you can't get your eyes off it anymore. i even had fights with my sister to whos turn it is to read it! i am not going to tell you my age...but believe me....the da vinci code is fit for anyone who can read and understand!

As we become adults, we tend to lose our imagination. Dan Brown obviously has not. He imbues me with imagination and thought and questions. so what if madonna on the rocks is acctually 6 ft and not 5? Everyone agrees that this book is a page turner, meaning it's a great book, even if there are those who are too stubborn to admit it. And on the subject of religion... get over it. If you are so insecure about your own religion that you allow a book of fiction to ruffle ur feathers and bunch ur underwear, than im sorry, your defense for the church is false and for the wrong reasons.

5 is way too small of a number to this novel enough said. oh yeah "WOW"


Da Vinci Code reads much like a finished script would go into production. A real page turner. I did not want to put it down, but alas, I had to sleep sometime. Short chapters makes reading a breeze and my interest was held throughout the entire book.
There were numerous surprises throughout and there were no clues which gave away any real hint of what would occur.

I have recommended this book to everyone I have met and continue to do so. I am completely satisfied with the charater development, story and ending.

I am looking forward with great anticipation to Robert Langdon's upcoming adventure.

If you haven't read his first "Angels and Demons" I highly recommend it. Amazing work from Dan Brown

The De Vinci code a roller coaster of a read, enthralling, intriguing, thought provoking.
I couldn't put it down. Encourages you to explore the fact from the fiction, can't wait for
the sequel next summer, or to read more by Dan Brown.

This novel by Dan Brown is surely one of the greatest story tellers of our time. The constant twists and turns make this instant classic impossible to put down. As a reader, I feel fortunate to be a part of such a ground-breaking tale.
