The Da Vinci Code

I just finished reading it, and it was so awesome! Has anyone else read it? Any thoughts?

I haven't read it yet, but being the good bookseller that I am, I must recommend Pompeii to you. I guess everyone who likes The DaVinci Code loves this book as well. I want to buy them both, but I'm waiting until after Christmas because my mom's already done her shopping. I'm glad to hear that you liked it too though!

No, i haven't, don't tell me about it though.

I picked up Angels and Demons in the airport in Minneapolis and haven't been able to put it down. I think it's the one written before DaVinci Code.

When i finish i'm gonna move on to the DC.

Da Vinci Code is a great read! I just finished it this week--sometimes it is good to be sick in bed with nothing else to do!

I finished both of the online quests yesterday afternoon. That was a fun way to spend a few hours. I will definitely be picking up "Angels and Demons" soon!

Finished it this week, too! (Those wanting to pick it up, Borders has it 30% off right now).

I spent the last couple of days (stuck inside b/c I'm sick) researching the Priory, the Holy Grail, and Mary Magdalene on google. I put my name on the waiting list to get Angels and Demons from the local library. A nurse at my doctor's office said it was even better than DaVinci.

Oooh, did you find out anything interesting that agrees with what the book said?

I have to pick up Angels and Demons soon.

I've read all four of Dan Brown's books, and I just have to say that he is an AWESOME writer! And his website is so cool, if you like his books, then definately check it out.

I just picked up this book last night. While I only read the first 2 chapters, it seems really interesting and I can't wait to finish it.

Don't give anything away.


eta: There is also a discussion in the AKA forum and they talk about a website. Does anyone know if you have to use the website for the book or is it just for a little added fun/intrigue?

No, you don't need the website to read the book. However, if you go onto the website, you will find two "quests" which include riddles, puzzles, anagrams, etc for fun. The book comes in handy, especially for the second quest.

greeklawboy is on Chapter 52 right now and he is loving this book too!

I *loved* the DaVinci Code! Couldn't put it down! Hopefully I'll get my hands on a copy of Angels and Demons soon. (If you turn the cover of Angels and Demons upside down, it still reads "Angels and Demons." Don't know if I explained that exactly right, but try it. )

Fantastic Book

I'm not a big fan of mystery/thriller/intrigue type books but I couldn't put this book down (not a good thing with finals in 3 weeks and 4 papers due). My mom just finished reading it too and went out to buy Angel and Demons. She's already finished that but I've told her lock it up until after 10:00 p.m. on December 12th when I get out of my last final then make sure it's sitting on my bed so I can stay up reading it all night long.

I keep saying I want to check out the websites they have. Can someone list them here for the people who haven't read the book yet but want to see whats up. I can't remember them off the top of my head.

For those who want to learn more about the Holy Grail read Holy Blood, Holy Grail - it came out in the late 80's early 90's and addresses some of what was brought up.
