I've read it, it took a bit of getting into but when you've got a 2 hour bus journey there's nothing else to do. I'm glad I percevered (I hope I spelt that right), it was great |

Brian the Davinci code was fantastic, it really made me think and it is a book that i have thought a lot about since finishing it. i even started reading other books about the subject, and have just finished the Hiram Key, that one is the seach for the roots of Freemasonry, and the possible link to the knights Templar. Give it a go its worth the effort Theresa Melbourne Australia |

Hi Brian and all I am about four fifths of the way through it and loving each and every page. I agree that it would be a great holiday read. Its one of the few books I have read that have inspired me to look for more information on the subject. Love it. Are there any more of his on similar lines? Lynne |

Thanks for all the comments. My sister in law said it was a great book and said I would like it, but I'm not a good non fiction reader. If it takes a bit of getting into I might struggle, but as it's a good "poolside" read I'll take it on holiday in October. Thanks everyone! |

Hi Lou I loved it too! I think you have to take it for what it is - a fictional story based on theories that have been out there for some time. I have now read Dan Brown's other books and enjoyed them all. Can't help you with other books to explain the theories though as I'm not a very good non-fiction reader! Jeanette x |

I read this book last month after wondering what all the hype was aout. What an absolute gem !! It's in short chapters which is great if you need to read in bits. Fast paced and totally absorbing. It engages you right from the off. Very hard to put down. :~D I've got Angels and Demons lined up next to read, after finishing Harry Potter last week! The DaVinci Code Movie is in pre production. Tom Hanks in lead role Paul Bettany (from the movie Wimbledon) as the Albino Silas among other famous people. Hope it's as good as the book. XX Sioux |

I enjoyed Angels and Demons more than the Da Vinci Code. It would make an equally nail- biting film. Sue |
