This is mystery writing at its best: gripping, intelligent, and original. A brilliant Harvard professor and a beautiful French cryptologist get mixed up with Opus Dei, a deeply devout yet highly controversial Catholic sect.

The book was fun to read, but it has a lot of errors about the history of Christianity. A search of the internet will prove this.

Robert Langdon has to be my favorite character in a novel because of how he decodes all the clues that are put in front of him in this book. I was glued to this book right from the very first page right through to the very last one. I was a little late to read this book but it was well worth it to wait because everyone was making their judgements when the movie was released.

I absolutely loved this novel, it's a fast-paced, well researched, wholly original story! Highly recommended.

Dan Brown blew me away with this epic novel. Full of mystery and adventure and it keeps you guessing till the very last page. It has brought much debate amoung many people and I would recamend this book to any one. I wish I can give it more than5 stars :)

Loved the book. Appreciated the research and thought that went behind this story. It was fast paced, riveting and thoroughly enjoyable. The characters were interesting in their own right and I loved all of them. Quite simply, it was a book that I simply could not put down. Highly recommended

When reading this book you have to read angels and demons first, it will make more sense when reading this one, overall it was a good read, during the middle of the book I kinda got bored, but then it really picked up, it just kept twisting and turning you never knew what would happen next!!

Ok, I am a tad late of the get go on this book, but I WAS working at Chapters during the whole fad for this book. lol Was a good book...It felt long to me. I have watched the movie when it first came out and i kept on wanting it to move faster. I thought it'd be a more fast paced... But at least Robert was the same in the book and the movie to how he just goes off on tangents. hehe. It was well written and was a good book, but not my fave.

The book is way better than the movie. Characters were well developed, story well told, the suspen was amzing and the reference to historical facts (or historical legends) is interesting. I would recommend this easy read. Iyad Atuan

I freely admit that my disdain for The Da Vinci Code is my own personal backlash over its popularity. Dan Brown isn't a terrible writer, despite facing that charge from many experienced readers. He has a likable style, and he drives the pace of the book relentlessly, which is exactly what one would want from a pulpy adventure that one can take to the beach. Likewise, the charge that The Da Vinci Code is somehow a failure because it is in any way inaccurate or unbelievable is unfair. The story is fiction, after all, and one should expect to have his/her credulity stretched, especially when reading pulp that is written with the screen in mind (as The Da Vinci Code surely was). I even enjoyed the Sunday afternoon it took me to read The Da Vinci Code. It was an absolute waste of time, and exactly what I wanted to be doing, sitting on a comfy sofa, drinking tea and reading about self-flagellating albino monks (and other fun things). I've given many books that are just as good as The Da Vinci Code -- and even some that are worse -- three stars, and I meant every star. The truth is that on its own merits, I'd have given The Da Vinci Code a similar rating if not for a repeated experience that led to my backlash. At the beginning of every semester, in a bid to get to know my students better, I play a memory game wherein the students provide me with their favourite things (books, food, music) and some personal details (people they hate, people they love, things they are proud of), then I connect something about them, something that stands out for me, with their name. It is a good start in getting to know the students, but it has also led to my hatred for Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. A good half of the students that enter my courses declare that they don't have favourite books, and/or they've only ever read three books in their lives -- two involuntary (both assigned by an English teacher, and always seeming to include To Kill a Mockingbird) and one voluntary (The Da Vinci Code). What bothers me most is that even if these people liked The Da Vinci Code, Brown's novel didn't spur them on to read more. They read the The Da Vinci Code, enjoyed it or didn't, then went back to their reading apathy. Moreover, if I could convince people to read one book voluntarily, one book for their pleasure, it would not be ANY cheesy, pulpy, low grade adventure story. It's like pouring a glass of $9 dollar wine for a person who is trying wine for the first time. They may enjoy the glass, but they're not going to choose wine as their alcohol of choice based on Fortant de France. And for that reason, I hate The Da Vinci Code. It is the cheap wine that keeps people away from the joy of good wine, and while I admit that it is the fault of popular culture rather than Dan Brown, each reader I find who stops at The Da Vinci Code makes me hate the book a little bit more.

I found this book to be very cleverly written and I enjoyed the action and suspense. I'm not a hard core reader nor do I know alot about religion so at times I found it difficult to follow but once you get into it, you start to see how nicely written it is.
