Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by samantha
I hate to read unless it is a magazine, or chicken soup for the teenage soul type of stuff, but the I was assigned to read this book in english, once I started to read the Da Vinci Code I was hook right away, I don't know what people who rate this book witha 1 or a 2 are thinking because this is a wicked good bookI can't wait for the sequel. (I'm 17 by the way)

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Shiela
I enjoyed this book because it made me look at how my own beliefs have been formed by what I was taught. As a graduate of 12 years of Catholic school, I found it quite interesting that I found new information here. I would say it is a must read for anyone who says they are a "Christian". I can totally believe the Vatican has withheld entire books from the Bible!!

Review (not rated) by Anonymous
Considering that I am a biography buff I enjoyed the book a great deal. At some point I didn't understand what Brown was implying about Mary Magdelene was she the wife of Jesus or the mother of Jesus. I also found Robert Langdon's character a bit too mild and not quite as intelligent as he should be considering his background. The end for me was too contrived. All in all however, I did enjoy the book and highly recommend it.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Sangfroid
It is an interesting, intriguing, and well-written novel. I recommend reading this for two kinds of people. One is the patient kind wherein they will be able to grasp each chapter without necessarily rushing to the end. Patience is also needed in analysing and studying the nuggets of information presented in the book. I very well recommend it to those who are open-minded, especially the Christian/Catholic open-minded laity. It is bold and may be found challenging to the Church. However, listening, pondering and analyzing what Brown has presented may positively lead the reader in getting to know his or her faith.

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by Chris
I too am astonished at how popular this book is. It is painfully predictable, the characters are dull, the pacing is agonizingly slow. The plot "twists" are often silly to the point of insult--I've been to the Louvre and used the bathrooms...Dan Brown's research isn't THAT good, obviously. Mr. Brown is clearly hoping Hollywood will turn this monstrosity into 90 minutes of vapid entertainment
