Editorial Comments

Product Description:
An ingenious code hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.
A desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe.
An astonishing truth concealed for centuries . . . unveiled at last.

As millions of readers around the globe have already discovered, The Da Vinci Code is a reading experience unlike any other. Simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent, and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail, Dan Brown's novel is a thrilling masterpiece—from its opening pages to its stunning conclusion.

Amazon.com Review:
With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history.

A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu's grandfather's murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England, and history itself. Brown (Angels and Demons) has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought. --Jeremy Pugh

5 out of 5 starsGreat read!
This is one of the books that really got me into reading. Seemed like I couldn't put it down!



5 out of 5 starsDoes not live up to Angels & Demons, but still an amazing book
Not much can be said that hasn't already been said. Not quite as good as Angels & Demons, but an amazing book nonethless. Brown's style of merging fiction and non-fiction is refreshing and prevents the reader from putting their book down.

3 out of 5 starsSecret of the grail
Wish someone told me Angels & Demons took place before this book and not understanding why the new movie seems to be filmed as a sequel. The story is about the Catholic Church on a quest to find the location of the true Holy Grail, and an ancient society established to keep it a secret. The two main characters in this novel are Langdon and Sophie. They are put in the middle of the ongoing struggle when all of the leaders of the ancient society are murdered by Silas, an assassin of the Catholic Church.

Silas is now out to kill Langdon and Sophie so that the secret of the Holy Grail will not be discovered by anyone who would release it into the world. One of those murdered by Silas was Sophie's grandfather, and now he is leaving a trail of clues for Sophie to solve with the help of Langdon.

The novel was against Christianity and said that Jesus was just a man and nothing else. I wouldn't recommend this novel to anyone with little faith or to someone who is easily swayed. Over all, this book was interesting. I would recommend.



3 out of 5 starsInteresting and easy to read.
This is one of those rare times when I truly did enjoy the movie more than reading the book. However, the book was a good read. The topic has much to do with the original popularity of the book in that some just can't separate fiction from reality, and the book does have everything going for it: an excellent story, good development, well thought out plot, not to mention how well the fiction weaves itself through elements of history. At no time did I consider not finishing the book, and, in fact, I looked forwarded to picking it up to continue.



5 out of 5 starsA good book
Full of mystery. Suspense. Murder. Da Vinci Code is, in my opinion, one of the all time best books in our century. There are cliffhangers at the end of every chapter that makes it almost impossible to put down.

Robert Langdon is an ordinary person, nothing especially unique or extreme about him. However, he's a symbolist so when the curator of the Louve Museum gets murdered, he is called to help decode the stranger symbols they find that seem to be pointing to the curator's killer. Sophie Neveu, the curator's granddaughter was also called and together they embark on the journey of their life.

Fabulously written, Da Vinci Code is my absolute favorite book. Characters and plot were well developed and although the plot got slightly confusing in the middle of the book, everything was resolved and cleared up. I was able to easily understand and comprehend everything by the time I put this book down.
