One of the best books I ever read! Very well written, I plan on returning to the Louvre for a double-take!

I loved this book! And I have good news for th others who loved it: it is being made into a movie. Details are few, but it is being directed by Ron Howard and it is rumored that Kate Beckinsale will be playing Sophia and Russell Crowe will be playing Robert Langdon.

A first rate thriller of a book, I couldn't put it down, I am now a fan of Dan Brown

It never ceases to amaze me when someone like Celia, post a review of little or no knowledge on subjects that are beyond her interest or care. The facts in the book are just that, if you take the time to do a little research you would find that the book characters are fictional but the facts surrounding the plot are real. The book is not about V.Mary, but rather the true meaning of the Holy Grail. It is not a secret that Mary M. has been awashed in the scriptures by the church. Mr. Brown gives actual list of books that one can look up. Perhaps a "Nancy Drew" fan should stick to just that. Someday we shall all know the truth that Mary M. was indeed the person whom Jesus saw as the one to build on his idealism.

Is it true, could it be true. Brown is not onlya genius he is a revolutionary awakening the sleeping masses

This book was brilliantly researched. The intrigue and weaving of clues was the best I have read in the mystery genre. It certainly created controversial debate regarding dogma of the catholic religion. Many of us had never heard of "Opus Dei" or The Priory of Scion. Consequently, we headed for lectures and further research to satisfy our curiosity. It proved to be exceedingly interesting. To substantiate the authenticty, many people were upset but needed to be reminded it WAS FICTION. My compliments to Dan for a job well done.
