The Da Vinci Code
I just finished this today. It is incredible awesome. Dan Brown is a genius. The story is intrguing and mysterious. It has startling insights to the Christian faith. The codes and how they're solved is mind-boggling. The characaters are enticing. I swear, this book seizes you mind and never lets go till the end, which is awesome. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves intellectual reading, and anyone who enjoys reading about sybols. The main character is, in fact, a symbologist. I intend to read all of his other books, they're that good.
What do you guys think?

Did you find it very controversial? I heard it promotes gnosticism and not too fond of Catholicism? Let me know I been wanting to read it but never made it part of my reading list.

Well, being an athiest myself, I found all of the anti-Christian sentiments (and the reasonings behind them) very intriguing.

I just finished reading Angels and Demons. Brown's introduction of Robert Langdon. This was great too. DaVinci Code has a better body, but Angels and Demons has a superior ending. You all should really go out and read them both.

U've read Angels and Demons, the Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress. I love the way he can insert so many plot twists into the story, it's almost too hard to follow. Almost. I can't wait to read Deception Point

Digital Fortress is little lie A &D and The Code. Digital Fortress doesn't even have Robert Langdon. I'll copy down the back on the book
When the NSA's ivincible code-breaking machine ncounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls its head cryptogropher, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage...not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secresy and lies, Susan Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but also for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.
Awesome, huh?

Sorry about the double thread and the double post.
I loved this book,
Im am Catholic and I thought the parts about the history of christianity were very enlightening.
I can't believe all this stuff is true!
I have to look at some of the Da Vinci paintings again, to see if I can spot some of the things he mentioned.
I also liked how he put that part about Phi in there, That is just soo cool!

I love the Da Vinci Code. It really made me think. What if all that stuff was true? All my friends love it and are forcing everyone else to read it too!
