  • Aside from the questionable theological and historical work, this is a fairly average to low-grade mystery novel. I suspect that the only reason that it has become so popular is due to its controversial topic.

  • It was a fun reading in the beginning (the 1st 1/3) then gets boring and ... I had to flipped through pages fast at the end... for the sake of finishing the book.

    It reminds me of many Hollywood movies.

    It's not all bad... considering good for long haul flight.

  • I couldn't put it down - LOVED it. The adventure part of it kept the book moving at a fast pace. The mystery part of it had me racing to the Internet to look up more facts on all the interesting subjects it touches on.

  • What a great book; very well read by Paul Michael, perfectly captures all characters. Dan Brown rocks.

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others.

In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever.

THE DA VINCI CODE heralds the arrival of a new breed of lightning-paced, intelligent thriller…utterly unpredictable right up to its stunning conclusion.
