Anyone read "The Da Vinci Code"?

Yeah I read it a couple years ago when it came out. Its an excellent book. Dan Brown actually wrote another book before The DaVinci code called "Angels and Demons" which imo is even better. Angels and Demons does come first and DaVinci Code even references it but you can read them out of order with out a problem.

Anyone read "The Da Vinci Code"?

I love to read, and only heard good things about those books, but what is it about? Right now I have been into reading Nicholas Sparks novels (The Notebook and other novels from him), which are more like tragedy/love stories...don't think it's the same kind of reading. IS Angels and Demons and Davinci Code more like intrigue stories?

These books are whats called Historical Fiction. They are essentially murder/mystery type books but with a lot of interesting theories and such about history. For example in DaVinci Code they follow a trail that has clues hidden in DaVinci paintings and other old art pieces. I would suggest just reading a brief synopsis on amazon.com or something for better details. I dont want to give away too much with my explanation.

I read both as well.. I think I agree with Angels and Demons being the better of the two although they all blend together for me.

There is a 3rd one too, but I can't even remember if I read it.

Warning these books are NOT suitable for evangelical eyes! If that's you go read the Left Behind series.

Thats for damn sure....I'm not a very religious person, so I absolutely loved both. I know a few people who are devout catholics that read these and bitched to me about them being blasphemous, lol.....but thats their deal. I do agree with the people that said that Angels and Demons was better, but I think that both books were amazing. Whats the deal with the "Left Behind" series??? Any good?

My girlfriend (a jew) gave my grandma (devote hardcore french-canadian catho who lives in a convent, literally, church 6+ times a week) the Davinci Code for Christmas. Yes, Christmas. How ironic!

Gotta give her credit, she still read it even after saying "Yeah, I heard about this book...." when we gave it to her.

ISTR even discussing one of these with a priest who didn't have all that much of a problem with it.

People need to just not take themselves so seriously, it amazed me that people could get so angry about the Da Vinci Code.

BTW the Left Behind books are a series that is/were all the rage with evangelicals. The Apocalypse comes and God/Jesus come down and kill everyone but the Christians and it follows the story of a bunch of hard-core Christians through it..

Haven't read any of them but we've got a copy of one so maybe I should.

A&D and DaVinci Code are great. You should also read digital fortress and deception point by Dan brown. Both of those kicked ass as well

If you really would like to know..... I've decided to start listening to "books on cd". I spend 4hrs a day in my car and it's the only way I can keep my sanity. You are right, I don't have time to read.

Aside from that, when are we drinking? I need to cleans my soul of the depression demons.

I've read all his books (that I know of). Deception Point, Angels and Demons, DaVinci Code and one about a super computer at the NSA that I cannot recall the name of. The plots get kinda repetitive.

Dan Brown is just Micheal Crichton for this decade.

Very similar in that each book fits into the same plot mold.. just slightly different settings, more use of religion and history vs. science, etc...

Mmmm... Excellent point. You think Mr. Brown will create a TV show like ER too?

Cheers!

That was the one where the driven and very attractive main character ets deep into a conspiracy and discovers the one person they thought was really ontheir side was actually evil, right?
