first, everyone jumped on the "read the davinci code" bandwagon.
second, everyone jumped on the "the davinci code is a piece of non-intellectual, crap" bandwagon.
thankfully, i read it before the second bandwagon came along.
this book is definitely not a masterpiece (i don't think even brown is claiming that) but if someone wants a fun story to be read in a day (and yes, i read this in one afternoon) then I recommend this book to you. ...more

Not to buy into pop culture but I read this one and then went through everything of Dan Brown's that I could get my hands on. I refused to see the movie because I didn't think Tom Hanks could possibly live up to the way the character was written. I loved not only Dan Brown's story, but the concept he explored of the possiblities of how different our religion & history could be if we had different authors.

Another excellent book by Dan, but after reading Angels & Demons, I was not surprised. I did like that it furthered the first story without needing any knowledge of the first story to enjoy it, but if you had read the first story, there were tidbits to reward you for your trouble.
I think maybe there was too much hype around this book so my expectations were too high and I was ultimatley disappointed. It was pretty good but not great, entertaining though.
