  • 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. Solving 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…and 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. The Louvre curator has sacrificed his life to protect the Priory's most sacred trust: the location of a vastly important religious relic, hidden for centuries.

In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to work for Opus Dei—a clandestine, Vatican-sanctioned Catholic sect believed to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's secret—and a stunning historical truth—will be lost forever.

In an exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit, symbologist Robert Langdon (first introduced in Dan Brown's bestselling Angels & Demons) is the most original character to appear in years. THE DA VINCI CODE heralds the arrival of a new breed of lightening-paced, intelligent thriller…surprising at every twist, absorbing at every turn, and in the end, utterly unpredictable…right up to its astonishing conclusion.
