I am usually not a big mystery fan, but this book had me hooked. from the enticing beginning at the Louvre, to the jaw-dropping ending, this book was a page turner. I found it's references to Da vinci very correct, and it's characters well developed. Overall, a must read for any mystery fan, and a great pleasure read for everyone else.

it's funny - of all the negative reviews I've seen for this book, most seem to be from the type of people who expect their fiction to be completely factual (now does that make sense?) or from those who take exception to the religious suggestions/overtones of this work.I was caught up in this book from the very beginning (which is always a nice surprise) and couldn't put it down until I reached the end. The author did a marvelous job of bringing into the story an alternate religious view and tying everything together with multi-layered puzzles and symbols hidden within the works of DaVinci. It's fast paced and full of great action - I couldn't believe it all takes place over the course of two or three days!Some people can get so caught up in an exciting and plausible story that they wouldn't hear you if you shouted in their face - if this sounds like you, I'd say you'll love this book. If, on the other hand, you find it offensive that a vague reference to the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is off by a few years, maybe you should look for some good non-fiction.

I really enjoyed this book! It's a real page turner, and I learned a few things as well. He sometimes goes overboard with the "symbology" but it didn't take away from the book.
Recommended!

The worst part of this book was the extremely short, choppy chapters. It drove me crazy. The story line had a lot of potential but the book just did not deliver. I was very disappointed that I wasted my money.

I believe those of you below who have written such vitriolic words of comdemnation for this book have forgotten one very, very important fact (yes, fact): this book is a novel, thus a work of fiction. That means it is a made up story written for both the writer's and the reader's enjoyment. It is a book to be read for enjoyment and escapism, not for historical, factual enlightenment. While there are elements of truth and historical fact, such as the Priory of Sion, Opus Dei, the Knights Templar, all of which happen to be real - that is true of any novel: they all have elements of truth used to build a story. Forest for the trees, people! Just in case any of you are wondering, I myself am a very strong Christian who also happens to be Catholic. Having said that, I enjoyed this book tremendously - it's a really good work of fiction.

When I read Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code", I felt like my world was falling apart, intellectually. I sensed an overwhelming truth behind the ideas presented in that book - ideas that were so at odds, so contrary to what I had been raised and educated to believe all my life. After reading Lunn's book, I now understand why I felt that way, and specifically what those powerful truths are. Its a refreshing new way of interpreting both history and religion. I can never look at Christianity or the history of Europe the same way again. If you want to really know what Brown was talking about in his novel - who the Priory of Sion and the Merovingians really are, what their secrets really are, and how they have affected world history - read this book. The implications are earth-shattering.

?Are you sure that you?re going to finish a book this time?? I?ve heard many versions of this same question since my interest in Freemasonry first began by reading ?Holy Blood, Holy Grail? over ten years ago. My wife is the first to remind me that out of my entire book collection, which is quite extensive, I rarely finish a book before becoming sidetracked by another. My library, like most who are on their quest for more light has become a hodgepodge of religion, philosophy, esoteric materials, Gnostic gospels, and volumes of Masonic works. Some fanciful, others, as near as I can tell, historically factual. Almost all, controversial to my family and friends. My library is an oddity to them, yet deeply personal to me, and last week I added yet another book to my every growing collection.I normally don?t read novels. I enjoy the facts and generally feel that novels are a waste of good study time, however, as I was surfing Amazon.com one day a title grabbed my attention; ?The DaVinci Code.? Now?I just had to read the description, and am I glad that I did!Dan Brown is a superb author! He has spun a web of fiction on the bedrock of historical fact. The story centers around a leading Symbologist named Robert Langdon and the granddaughter of an elderly art museum curator Sophie Neveu. Sophie?s grandfather is killed, and Sophie, a Cryptologist for French law enforcement, teams up with Robert Langdon, a Symbologist for Harvard University on a quest to find his killer, escape capture under false pretences, and discover the true hiding place of the Holy Grail!Quite honestly, this is one book that is difficult to set down and my wife was pleasantly surprised when I told her that I had finished The DaVinci Code. It was as if I had been thrust into this story with the characters! I lived every heart pounding minute. With heroes, villains, knights, maidens, secret societies, and ancient truths to boot, this is a real barn burner! The twists, turns, and energy put into this book will keep you turning the pages for more action and answers! Every free thinker should grab a copy of this book and indulge himself in a fact driven gem of fiction in pursuit of Truth. This book may challenge some people?s preconceptions of history, but it will stretch your mind to new dimensions from which it will never return to its former state. This book is bound to thrust the reader onto a path of new discoveries.Don?t just buy this book?Read it! Start reading early, grab a cup of coffee and a comfortable chair because once you start reading The DaVinci Code you?ll have a difficult time setting it down!

The Da Vinci Code is an extraordinary book for people who prefer the road less traveled. It is an exciting story that encourages you to think about the world we think we know and the possibilities of a world only a few speak openly of. Interwoven into your typical summer mystery is a peek into the world of the religious underground. An exciting, interesting, and possibly controversial book. This has been my favorite book of the summer.
