It was kind of disappointing, maybe because there had been so much hype about it in the first place..
Personally I thought it was great as a pieve of research, but the plot was ..well, Sidney Sheldon
and Angels and Demons was even more absurd..
Brilliant research on both books, though. Maybe I'd have thought it was better, had it been written as a thesis/ a piece of non-fiction.

Da Vinci code is the best novel i have read till date. What with all the authentic information about famous pieces of art ...... Great info builder on such issues apart from being gr8ly entertaining... I guess everyone should read it atleast once in his/her lifetime.

Data wuz nice, but i found it a li'l bit sensationalist, and the ending was more than a bit of an anti climax.

Angels and Demons is better.

Its good to read this novel once. I am aware that this should have been banned...for the deafamation of Chirstanity....Anyways Thanks God i read it before happening of such things.....Good Stuff.....End part is a little bit frustrating.....Overall a Master piece

A Movie is going to be made on this with Tom Hanks playing Robert Langdon.
Was one of the best fiction books i've ever read. If u read the prologue carefully
then it clearly says it's a fiction work and has no relation to "reality".

Probably DBrown was trying a way so that it doesnt get banned. However, it
already created much controvery.

Above all, it's a great book with great plot and splendid story line to keep u engrossed. (i'm taking it as pure fiction)

truly a masterpiece..read it a few mths back and though it was a bit sensationlist but a gud one and the plot was more like a sidney sheldon novel..though i didnt have a paperback so downloaded it frm the net in pdf format

Dunno ppl, but dont see why it has to be such a rage. Its fun to read no doubt, but still, somehow, i felt that the popularity and praise it got was a little over the top. Guess its coz of its controversial nature, everyone loves a hornet's nest .. stirred not shaken

Yup... Me thinks the same too. Before this novel, "The Negotiator" by Frederick Forsyth was the best that I had read, but this one's damn good....

Well, it certainly got me back to my reading habits as I completed the entire book within 1 and a half days. It was Unputdownable. The part which made it all the more sensational was that it related to right facts about history and reading them(eg., going to the site Odan.org or checking out the oeiginal Last supper where one of the disciples was indeed painted as a female) made it all the more enthralling..

Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon would just be an awesome combo.Hope te movie releases soon.... and lives up to the novel.
