View Full Version : The Da Vinci Code
I've just finished this novel. It's very interesting and does well in placing cliffhangers causing you to read more. Definitely check it out.

I've seen that book.
It looks interesting? I don't know what it's about, someone tell me.
It's too big for me to read without having a word before hand. I'm a Dr. Suess type of guy :)

Im not good at making summaries so i ripped this off of dan browns official site :P
While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci…clues visible for all to see…and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. The Louvre curator has sacrificed his life to protect the Priory's most sacred trust: the location of a vastly important religious relic, hidden for centuries.
In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to work for Opus Dei—a clandestine, Vatican-sanctioned Catholic sect believed to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's secret—and a stunning historical truth—will be lost forever.
In an exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit, symbologist Robert Langdon (first introduced in Dan Brown's bestselling Angels & Demons) is the most original character to appear in years. THE DA VINCI CODE heralds the arrival of a new breed of lightening-paced, intelligent thriller…surprising at every twist, absorbing at every turn, and in the end, utterly unpredictable…right up to its astonishing conclusion.

I'll watch it since I liked the book. They should have done angels and demons first though. It's not exactly related where you have to know one to get the other, but it still would have been nice. Not making it in chronological order is stupid, like Star Wars. That just means they probably won't make an Angels and demons movie, unless DaVinci Code sells really well.
I loved this book and Angels and Demons. I'm planing to buy Digital Fortress and Deception Point over the summer.
