disappointing...

It's predictable, and the writing fails to engage your raw emotions. Some of the material and plotlines should be terrifying and nail-biting but it fell flat for me.

How flat? Well the last 60 pages or so went unread for about a week until I forced myself to pick it up and just finish it off.

That's probably the worst indictment I could ever make of a book in this genre!! Everything of significance had happened (or was so obvious by that point), and I just didn't care enough about the characters to go through all the motions of wrapping up the story lines.

-10 stars out of 5.

Poor writing, poor plot, and guessed who's who in the middle of the book.

Title: The Da Vinci Code
Author: Dan Brown
Summary: The victim is a high-ranking agent of an ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can solve. As they solve riddle after riddle, code after code, they make a stunning discovery - the connection between Christ and Da Vinci. With each code they break, they come nearer to the decipher of the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile and the secret of the Holy Grail. The truth about Sophie's family and her grandfather's involment in the society will all come to light. But hot on their heels are the police and another society who wishes the secrets to remain secret, will they complete their quest?
Comments: This book is fanscinating with its many interesting riddles and facts. Also it keeps us on our toes with the sequel of events. Twists here and there, the book keeps us glued to it until it is finished. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially those who have a mind as curious as yours truly. (read less)

I don't care what anyone says - this is one of the few books that I can truly call a page-turner that I've ever read.

No one does on-the-edge-of-your-seat thrills like Dan Brown.

As with The Da Vinci Code, too short and not enough original research.
