Book Reviews of The Da Vinci Code
Book Review: yes no let me know
Summary: 2 Stars
the rage will be short live surviving only in church book clubs and oprah fans. a page turner all admitt, however, the premise of controversial religious topic is the real suspect to blame for gluing your finger to the page. the writting was mediocre not to ripe the book apart but i was just as enthused by picking up a goosebumps book. only suggestion- read it for yourself the opinions seem to vary drasticallyBook Review: yes, remember that it's just fiction
Summary: 3 Stars
Enjoy the story, but don't mistake it for a work of non-fiction scholarship as some have. I have a history degree from U.C. Berkeley and a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies and can tell you from my own research that there's no historical basis for much of Brown's story. He doesn't even get the Leonardo part right (for example, as some Leonardo scholars have pointed out, no one refers to Leonardo as "Da Vinci"). So enjoy the ride, but look for historical accuracy elsewhere.Book Review: you MUST simply read this book...
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, Mr. Brown, keeps upping himself with each successive novel. This is a book not to be missed. I dare you to put this book down once you start reading. It starts with a gruesome death in the Louvre and continues with an unfolding mystery that spans continents, centuries, and will blow away your conceptions about the "accepted" histories of art and religion. This book deserves to be a major bestseller! (And don't forget to read all his other books, too!)--James RollinsBook Review: you mean reading can be fun AND educational?!?

Summary: 1 Stars
Hey yall, this is FICTION! Brown is a talented author but if you want real answers, truth, infallible words... read the BIBLE! That's where you'll find everything and anything you may need. This novel will not help you if you're in search of something. There's NOTHIN you can get from it! Go cop a copy of the greatest book- the Bible! :)
