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

wow. what can i say. initially, I had no intentions of picking up fiction, but my browse thru the bookstore led to to a masterpiece which had me absoltely blown away from start to finsh. Brown's mix of storytelling and historical reference is unreal. Ive always been somewhat of a conspiracy buff, but thanks to Mr. Brown- Im at a whole new level. A must-read, Ive told everyone....

To say I was unprepared for this book is a misstatement. I was looking for intrigue and, along with it, got a fascinating lesson in religious history. To be sure, there is fiction here, but the truth--whatever that might be--is far more compelling. Dan Brown is obviously a scholar. Bravo, Dan.

Can't remember the last time I was this excited about a book. To me, a great book is one that I can't put down, but even more importantly causes me to read more about the subject matter. With this book, I kept running to the computer to look stuff up after declaring to a very confused spouse things like "Did you know......??". An engaging book that never insults your intelligence. Can't wait to read his other books that I just bought!

I totally agree with all the editorial reviews. This is by far the best intellectual thriller in a long time. You will never look at The Last Supper or The Mona Lisa the same way again. I was raised Catholic, and I enjoyed the history lesson. I firmly believe there was a relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus, and this was a wonderful book. I have recommended it to everyone I know.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown has taken the bestseller lists by storm in the last couple of weeks due to one of the most intense publicity pushes I've seen from any publisher in the past few years - but it is an excellent book so, in my opinion, they're right to do so! It probably seems to many visitors that Dan Brown has appeared out of nowhere, but in fact he's been plugging away as a writer for quite a few years. His first published book was Angels and Demons, which was one of BookBrowse's 'Favorite Books' in the year 2000 and, incidentally, also features Robert Langdon - the lead character from his latest book. You can browse excerpts from three of Dan's books, at BookBrowse.com, plus, reviews, book synopses, an author biography, two interviews and a reading guide for The Da Vinci Code.
