The Da Vinci Code

Nothing special but somewhat entertaining.

A wonderfull novel full of secrets that I never knew but the end was disappointing for me ;I expected something more exciting;)

has a lot of interesting theories but not a great story. its like a lot of information found online wrapped up in an ok story. i wouldnt call myself very well read yet i guessed the ending, and it was before the film came out and built up all the hype. i would recommend because i love conspiracy theories but i wouldnt call it a novel.

awful. this book made me doubt the collective intelligence of the majority of the american public. I hate this book. It is poorly written, has absolutely no character or plot development, wasn't intellectually challenging, and the author completely wimped out at the end of the story. This book is so bad that I won't assign it any stars. I think that I wouldn't hate it as much if it hadn't sold so...more

Reads like a thriller, don't know what all the fuss was about. That history might not be what it looks like? Anyone who has ever read something other than thrillers once in a while will have an idea of the "shattering truths" that everyone was babbling about when this book was released. It had its funny moments which is a relief compared to other sensations (aka Meyeresque bull) & truth be told,...more

It had its funny moments which is a relief compared to other sensations (aka Meyeresque bull) & truth be told, it's a better brainier thriller than say Clancy's trash too so all in all not bad.   hide

My first Dan Brown book. Highly entertaining.

I read this book because how popular it was and because my husband was in the hospital and I literally had nothing to do when I was there with him. He was asleep most of the time. I read this in about 2 days (which is fast for me) and it was what I call a real page-turner! I don't think I can say that about any other book I've ever read, even the ones I really like.

Most times, I savor a sentence or paragraph written well like fine wine in my mouth, but this one wasn't like that. I was intrigued with the STORY, but the writing style.   hide

Badly written, plagiarised drivel. The plot was at least interesting even though derivative but written in such a way that I had to double check if it wasn't a high school essay. Awful writing and I gave him another couple of chances with Digital Fortress and Deception point and he didn't disappoint. They too were appallingly badly written!

No Stars!! Poorly written, Dan Brown is in desperate need of an editor. This book has plot holes, poor character building, and because of his lack of explanation of reasoning I found it hard to suspend disbelief through the premise. Also I would have given this book one star for originality however there was a book written by Katherine Neville called 'The Eight' that has a similar premise...more

Also I would have given this book one star for originality however there was a book written by Katherine Neville called 'The Eight' that has a similar premise and was written in 1988. I'm not a fan of any of his other books either. I would say this is a book to skip.   hide
