I can't believe it Sophie Nevue's family was the document the"item" they were all searching for. I think maybe the grand pere thought that family is the most important thing and that he thought if Sophie would forgive him for what she saw earlier.
I wonder if in the real world people have these types of family problems, then out comes an adventure that has to only do with them,but makes the person understand his family problems.
In the book I only couldn't understand why they had to seperate the families for protection, I mean isn't any family safer with both parents together.

i know what you mean, but anyway i really enjoyed this book, i thought it was very intriguing and exciting, i couldn;t put it down, the movie was terrible compared to that, have you seen the movie

[Prerak]

i saw the movie...and come on, we cannot expect any of Dan's books to be turned to movies...how much will the director show???? Haha! No but still, i agree the movie was terrible but still a good shot at ATLEAST TRYING to be good!

I liked the movie but LOVED the book!

Da Vinci Code is my Dan Brown's favorite book but i didn't like the movie, maybe i would love it if i didn't read the book before. I think that "Deception Point" will make it as a film more than "Da vinci Code".

We all need to try to separate the 2 genres -- movie and book. I used to have a huge issue with the movie not following the book but have found that if you work at it you can enjoy the movie for what they've done with the original story. It does take work, though, but I try my theory on family members and it gives us all something to argue about!

I completely agree with Hafsae, but for me I started with film, so when I read the book, it was a good surprise !

I read Da Vinci Code some time ago. I enjoyed reading it, certainly more than I enjoyed the film, but I am not sure I understand its popularity. It was a "good" book but I don't think it was great or fantastic or any other words. Just good!

In a world were libraries were populated by nothing but Dan Brown books this would still only be in second place... in our world it should be down in the last ten with all his other books aside from angels & Demons which was alright... I'm sure they do a terrible movie adaptation of that soon.

Angels and Demons was a fun read, although a totally unrealistic ending, but I thought the Da Vinci Code was rather poorly written and a bit boring.

The DaVinci Code was an absolute favorite book for me. I did not notice bad writing in any way in the 2 separate readings. What surprised me, I think, was that the theories brought up were known to so many but I had never heard them. And my first reading I needed to picture in my head what the works of art looked like. This was difficult to do but on my 2nd reading I had the edition that included visuals. That was the key for me although using my imaginiation was interesting as well. Maybe the people who don't enjoy the book are the folks who, A) aren't interested in art and B) are not interested in delving into the alternate theories of the life and death of Christ and the beginnings of the Catholic Church. That would be a large chunk of people! And I don't mean to say anything against these folks. There are plenty of subjects that I could care less about and would think the writing on such subjects was really bad, boring, uninteresting. Just a thought.

It actually took me 2 separate readings also to see the whole picture and story line for this book. It was really interesting for me to read this book and notice the details clearly.
