I'm reading it right now.

It's an extremely good book.

I reccomend it.


1st no book can be "extremely good" lol, and 2nd what exactly is so good about it?


It IS good, not the best, but it is a fun read.

At the moment Im reading Angels and Demons, which so far I have to say is great.

And of course a book can be "extremely good" depends who is reading it.


i was dissapointed by the ending honestly, Angels and demons>code by far. You could easily guess that Tibing(or w/e was his name) is the "bad guy", then the development is mediocre, no useful information(other than some sights), no irony/sarcasm/any sign of style, pretty poor vocabulary. Well, as u may see i didnt like it sad.gif

I thought it was funny how he is making so much money off this book while in 1987 or somewhere around there a book called holy blood, holy grail. HAS THE SAME TOPICS!
Book such as "cracking the da vinci code" show the true information that he says are fact. The reason why so many people are mad is because people are believing the information stated as all fact!

Guy who wrote Holy Blood, Holy Grail, was one of the authors who helped Dan Brown.

I thought the book was very interesting and had some very interesting points, however i am a Jehovah's Witness so i do disagree with several points in the book, but it was very interesting to read some details i have never seen nor heard of before.. However since i haven't seen much proof for them i have to disagree with them.... I did love the book though :-)
(Im going to see the movie this week)

well not only that. The Da Vinci Code describes Opus Dei as a fanatical group that hires assassins to do their bidding. The true Opus Dei may be secretive but has revealed much in light of the recent movie release...

heres a report on their group by TIME:
