Da Vinci Code leaves readers wanting more and Secrets of the Code satisfies the need. Written with care, intelligence, authority and intrigue, I found Secrets of the Code a cut above the look-alike treatises out there. This is the definitive text solving the mysteries of the "code" in an entertaining and convincing way.

Actually I haven't read the book yet ( but you can count on it now!). I am here to give a short rebuttal to the person signed as " a reader" from Brookline, MA ( see Real Junk, October 18). This reviewer says: "...there is no such profession as 'symbologist'..." - But YES there IS dear reader! And -surprise,surprise- one of the most famous of those, certainly the most visible in the public's awareness, is none other than Professor Umberto Eco. who is a specialist is SEMIOTICS, which deals with the language (and of course, the meaning) of "symbols" of all kinds. What Brown has done,was simply to call it (this profession, that is) another name. My point is that such profession DOES exist and is enjoying excellent health. I thought you'd like to know.

The DaVinci Code has a very interesting premise: Art that clues you in on one of the greatest controversial secrets in religious history. A protagonist that is dropped in the middle, and must figure out the puzzle before the bad guys get to it (or him) first.It really is a shame that the deja vu effect never went away. Page by page, the action was almost generic to any other thriller/mystery. The race between the heros and the villans felt drawn-out towards the end, to the point where I had to put the book down before I started screaming for the author to get to the point. In fact, The DaVinci Code follows many of the same turns and twists as Mr. Brown's previous book, Angels and Demons (with Robert Langdon the protagonist for both novels). Was the climax a suprise? If you don't know much about Grail lore, then it might... If you've read all about the Knights Templer and other such historical suppositions, then you'll figure it out long before the characters do. To be fair, Mr. Brown did a lot of research and provided a plausible history; and the story did flow well in the first half of the book. But as the house of cards was built higher, the story fell apart for me.If you really like mysteries and aren't familiar with many of the Grail stories, I would recommend this book. Otherwise, Angels and Demons would be a better read.

I was standing on the beach last summer talking to a friend when she recommended this book. I enjoyed it so much that after reading it, I went on to read every other book that Dan Brown has written, and I loved them all. Several times during the reading of this book I had to go to the Internet to look up items involved in the story, and felt that I ended up with a book that not only entertained me, but enriched me from a cultural standpoint. However, there's an even bigger story out there. What if Jesus returned and everyone missed it? "A Thief in the Night" by William Sears tells the story of his personal search for the answer to this question, and I'm hoping Dan Brown will pick up on it someday and turn it into another best seller.

This is a good mystery with puzzles to solve, historical sights, interesting happenings and escapes, but flimsy in its basis. Enjoyed it but couldn't take it seriously at all, almost laughable. But you might like it.
