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

I felt that the book was excellent for many reasons because it really opens up your mind to a different point of view. After I read it, I conducted research of my own and was very amazed to see The Last Supper in new light. I know the book is fiction but reading it you realize that the facts Dan Brown presents might definately have a good base. Also, the bible might definately be based on incorrect facts as well. One interesting point is that Dan Brown wrote this book under the pretense of fiction to avoid major problems for himself if he wrote about such a viewpoint. Overall I love this book and the way it made people take a second look at the foundation of Christianity.

>>So, what great authority in Biblical principals does Brown could have? <<

I'm not sticking up for Mr. Brown but I don't think he claims to have any authority, does he? This book is filled with many could be facts but remember it's still fiction.

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.
