What readers think of The Da Vinci Code, plus links to write your own review.

Sometimes the intertwined characters and travels become tedious at the expense of the core of the book, the search for the grail. The book does an excellent job of portraying Judeo-Christian minimilization of women, although placing most of the blame on Christians.

The human mind is pretty suseptible for doubt. People lack of faith due to spiritual ignorance. No wonder why this wise words were said "and few are the chosen" D. Brown, pretty weak in the facts of the Bible and the mistery of God, prints his own self believes mixed with some historical background of Leonardo Da Vince who himself did not believe in Jesus until few minutes before his death. So, what great authority in Biblical principals does Brown could have?

No doubt one of the best books I've ever read, however, the title of the book in my opinion should have been something different.
Perhaps I missed something in the read but I kept waiting for this to reveal an actual code in the Da Vinci painting itself that would
lead the characters to the ultimate goal. In short, I guess I thought the Da Vinci paintings themselves should have had a much deeper and darker inner meaning. But hey thats why I didn't write the book and Mr. Brown did!

best book i have ever read! if you like murder, history, art, religion and danger this is the book for you.

just an overall great read. i managed to read it all in one sitting. hour after hour and i just couldnt put it down. i agree with those other readers who said it was thought-provoking. and you know what? why not!

da vinci: an absolute genius. i checked his last supper painting-this time really studied it. sure enough the person to the ledt of jesus christ could vejy well be a woman. also for the first time i saw the knife to jesus left. was this da vinci's way of letting us know his views on the life of jesus? could jesus have married and even have had children? why not? maybe there are descendents living somewhere. who knows.

The Da Vinci Code made me think of religion and common belief in general. I never realized some of the things the book discusses. It really opened my eyes to a new way of thinking.

I never cared much for history...but this book has changed my mind.
I find myself looking for more information about the Knights Templar, Constantine, Priory of Sion, etc.
Who cares if all the religious fanatics are upset. It's a darn good read!
Maybe it's time for people to look at things from a different perspective.
Fast paced, intriguing perspective on history.

this is easily the best fiction book written this year, and one of (if the THE best fiction book i've ever read. if its not on your "to read" list yet, it should be.
