I thought this book provided a simple path into some very interesting and complex concepts. i also thought it was an inspirational look at art and archtecture down the ages. I thought the plot waqs fast paced and clever. I personally enjoyed the fact that i could get some of the codes before the scholars... of course i am sure this was a devise by Dan Brown to boost the readers self esteem... buti enjoyed the feeling none the less. I refuse to believe that anyone expected certain out comes... Teabing being "the teacher"... Fache's phone conversation being genuine... the sympathy you felt for Aringrossa and Silas... all absolutely insightful twists of fate and utterly unpredictable in my oppinion! Over all the book made us question certain things about faith. I'm certainly not saying I adopt all the theories by any means but it certainy makes me question more what i already suspected.

I loved this book! There are so many points in the book that make you think about what you tend to just believe. This is one of the books that I can recommened to anybody!!! Everybody should read it, if only to expand their horizon a little.

I read the book and was inspired to draw a line from Glastonbury to the Roslin chapel and beyond out of curiosity on a road atlas of Britain. Once the line was drawn I looked up all the placenames in the index that begin with Ross, Ros or Rose. I was surprised how many fell clustered around the line I drew.
The Ark of the Covenant was featured on this weeks Richard and Judy as being connected to a Templar Chapel near Southam in Warwickshire and the local news recently covered a coded Grail plaque at Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire. Worth doing a search on if you liked the book.

CHRISTian girl... (11/21/04)

Good am! I am a CHRISTian... I can't tolerate that deceiption that I read about this book... It promotes exceptional ATHEISM and Anti-CHRISTianity... But it really hit me when Jesus Christ is being accussed for not being Holy??? What a deceiving thing... if it is a fictional thing... Then why there were people commiting on burning the Holy Bible because of a book that was contradicting the truth... I want to meet Dan Brown... Please stop deceiving God's people... May your conscience make you feel guilty... I'm From a church from the Philippines... I wanna get the contact email add of Mr. Brown... I will soon contradict your literary... RsACastro... I'm Racquel Sarah A. Castro... God make me differently... but i know the truth... that He was the King of kings... Lord of lords... Redeemer of my soul... God bless you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is well written, and reasherd.
I do not have one favorit book, but this one will rate hig on my list of good books.
Guess Who (11/06/04)

Unbelievable as this may seem, I am 13 years old and absolutely loved this book. He gave you a feeling of complete confidence, even if in some instances he was wrong he still made it seem totally believable. A cliff-hanger at the end of each chapter kept me hooked but I couldn`t help but feel that he was only making the police appear at every turn to make the novel longer and therefore able to sell for more. Really put across the books atmosphere well, as I read in bed I felt unsafe and hunted. A fantastic book and I can not WAIT for the next book by a master of our language, Dan Brown
