The Da Vinci Code

Poorly written, contrived storyline and puzzles. Unbelivable characters never needing to eat or sleep.

Tripe

Very well written and a delicious to read

I found this book quite repetitive with its theme, and found myself wondering why it had become such a huge sensation. Nearly didnt finish it, but plugged away with the second half and finally got there. Wasnt inclined to read any more from this author.

i would like too read this book how do i get it on line?

Total and absolute drivel. I only read it because of the title. Leonardo Da Vinci is such an incredible character, so I had to read this, but it was so poorly written I couldn't believe how pathetic it was. Laughably awful. Why has it become so successful? Full of holes and cliched, corny characters.

If not the worst thriller I've read, then certainly the worst writing of any genre. The Holy Blood & the Holy Grail, the non-fiction book it seems to be based on, is a much better thriller!

Tedious normal read from Dan Brown, follows the same plot as all his other books. Once you have read this, you don't need to bother with any of the others

This book, like Dan Brown's other books is undoubtably rubbish and would never be chosen by a responsible reading group leader, but Brown's books are all page-turners, and just what you need when lying next to the pool with a Cinzano on the rocks. Needless to say, I have read all his books!

This book was very well conceived, and very well written. However, I would not say it was Brown's best work. If you want to read a good book by him, I'd say go with Lost Symbol or Angels and Demons

i found it to long and drawn out in the beginning and i got bored with it

In my view, his best book so far. It started a genre all on its own. A well deserved 4 stars. Not five, because there are historical mistakes and some absurd twisting in the plot. Fun to read nonetheless!

Riveting read, great imagination and attention to detail is intense. The way to tell a great lie is to keep as much of the truth in it as possible, and this tale is spellbinding from page one.

I think I heard Stephen Fry once describe it as 'utter arse gravy'. I can't say I disagree with him. It does have the magic formula, in that it makes you turn the page, but I have to say a lot of it made me embarrassed to read it.

It frightens me how many copies have been sold!

10x better than the film

I loved reading this book! Wonderfully suspensful and very absorbing read. Couldn't wait to turn almost every page.

suspenseful

As time went on I found this book less and less believeable.and lost interest.

Reminded me of my disappointment when reading Stephen Kings books.

The beginnings are so much better than the developed storyline.

I loved this book! Had me looking at art works going..ooo..i see that lol

Loved the book way more than the movie. But what else is new?

shockingly bad would like to give it 0 star rating

Great book if you love a good mystery-slash-don't mind a conspiracy theory. *laughs* It's minor suspense and I love the fact that the main character is trying to piece together a puzzle.

I really enjoyed this book, I was amazed at how much research went into this book, it always amazes me when a piece of literary work takes facts into consideration when fabricating the events around them.... I have always thought that writers that can do this are the best writers because they can weave together events that take you out of your surroundings and place you right in the middle of their books, and though you know that you're reading a book there are aspects that are real so it intertwines fantasy and reality. I believe that is the making of any great story. I believe this story has inspired me to go see more relics at "La Louvre" and brought other travel plans into consideration, just to see the other places mentioned in the book. I personally loved this book, and have loved reading it again :)

If you want a simple and fairly predictable read then this is for you. In saying that I enjoyed it when reading it on holiday a few years back

This is such a great book; a real page turner! The movie was not good at all but the book was very good.

SOO clever - BRILLIANT - I couldn't put it down!!!!

Sorry but I thought it was mince - the characters behaved in such a stupid way that it got on nerves - I would not read another Dan Brown book
