 Good read for entertainment July 1, 2008

This is the second Dan Brown novel I've heard, the other being "Digital Fortress". The story line is a history teaser. It makes you want to go look at DaVinci's paintings, read up on Sir Isaac Newton, and find out about the Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar. I was disappointed in one area...these so-called experts couldn't figure out the codes to open the cryptex. When they said it needed 5 letters to open it, I knew right away that it would be some name for Sophie. After all, her Grandfather made the thing. The same thing happened in Digital Fortress...the smart people took too long to figure out an obvious password and an obvious secret identity of a character.
Overall, I would recommend this book, but go in with an open mind. It is work of fiction based loosely on historical fact.

I've read a few of the reviews and I cannot understand where they are coming from. First of all the book is a fictional one, no one said it was true, secondly even if it were true ,so what? It's not like someones committed murder ,Jesus happens to marry and settle down, what could be more natural and lastly just enjoy the book for what it is ,a wonderful read!

If you haven't read this book yet, what are you waiting for! I am very glad I read the book prior to seeing the movie. The book goes into so much more detail than the movie did. I found myself on the edge of my seat! I just couldn't put the book down! I bought the hardcover illustrated edition which I really liked. Even though Dan Brown went into great detail about the various sites, paintings, etc, it was really nice to see exactly he was describing there on the same page. I highly recommend this book!
Illustrated version even better June 16, 2008

I liked this book very much, and I should say that the illustrated version helps the reader to better understand the story. It is very engaging from the very beginning

Dan Brown is a quintessential author. This soon to be classic is rocking the "pundits" that think there is but one theory to explore. As a former Catholic, I found it very hard to put this book down.......
