The Da Vinci Code

At a book sale I paid $10.00 for a mystery bag of books, The Da Vinci Code being one in that bag. Otherwise, I would not have purposely purchased it as I had no intention of ever reading it.

One of this year's prompts in a reading challenge lead me to give in and read this book - actually taking less time by listening to it on audio. It is far from my favourite, being irreverent, somewhat ridiculous, and riddled with deceptive statements that can lead people to believe falsehoods about the Lord Jesus Christ if they are not grounded in their Christian faith. The writing is not even what I expected from a bestselling author, the story quite unconvincing in its unfolding.

Ah! I enjoyed this---in 1987 this was a novelty for me and the memory of reading this is all tied up in wedding plans so this book has a special place in my reading heart

Good book, I enjoyed it.

Must read

It is interesting, but a little too conspiracy filled.

Loved it, couldn't put it down

An intriguing novel filled with clever puzzles and hidden messages. The full picture edition also features some magnificent artwork. The plot is well thought out, and the puzzles are quite fascinating, however the book tends to drag on at times, a challenge to finish. One of the extremely rare occasions in life where I've enjoyed the movie more than the book.

I thought this book was awful and I couldn't finish it. It is badly written and non-suspenseful. Don't waste your time.
