The Davinci Code

its a entertaining book for sure

Some folks look for answers, others look for fights

Some folks up in tree tops, just looking for their kites

It's about secret conspiracies and shit conserning DaVinci,hiding secret codes to finding the Holy grail in his art.

yeah its a really good book, but you definatly have to discern whats true and whats not, i cant think of anything off the top of my head cuz i read it like in january, but it is very intertaining...if ya'll liked that you should read the first one 'angels and demons' that was insane

Holy fuck is that a good book, some of the stuff he talks about is similar to what my moms been talkin about. but as of the pagon/christian side of things i think its true, theres so many other books on the subject and either its extremely clever or its the other side of the story. but the grail is definatley debatable.

Just picked it up from my friend today, i'll spend the next few weeks sitting on the banks of the river giving it a read (in between getting pissed and a bit of wakeboarding)

I recommend reading Angels and Demons (the prequal) before the The Da Vinci Code.

SMILE, its the second best thing you can do with ur mouth
 
the da vinci code was very lacking, in my opinion. it comes off as an action/mystery book where events occur through lack luster channels. it was almost as if everytime they ran into a problem, 'oh i get it' comes to someone's mind from their past experiences or education and whoop the problem is gone. in other words, climactic possibility was suffocated w/melancholy solutions. to me it read as though I was watching a european robbery film in super slow motion.

if you don't follow what i'm saying, read the book, then go listen to the audiobook. listening to someone read something usually allows you (at least me) to analyze something a bit better as your concentrations aren't dialed in on actually trying to comprehend what's written on a page.

has anyone ever wondered if the so called intellectual gain books supposedly give you (i'm talking about fictional books) is overrated where poindexters say it's great and well, you don't wanna look like an ass and w/o really thinking about it, you think it's great, also. it happened with the movie home alone.

i couldn't write the da vinci code by any means, but there're much more entertaining and/or indepth/complicated/throught-provoking mysteries/whatever you wanna label it as books out there. the entire premise of the book is about a holy/royal bloodline. i think the matrix was much more thought provoking and symbolic than this book...not like the second or third matrix movies should've been made.

i'll chalk my lack luster comments up to my taste for something that has the potential to provoke an extended discussion. when i finished the da vinci code, i didn't think about it for another week until someone brought it up b/c they didn't understand something. i don't think the topic really entertained me and i gave the book a shot the whole way through. if you want to read something religiously thought provoking that makes a statement, get paradise lost by john milton (and a cup of coffee w/a notebook b/c a poem a few hundred pages is a little tricky).

flame away if you feel the need to.

thank you GOD!!! somebody finally says it. listen, the guy can do some research but fucking please!!!! his plots ARE NOT GOOD!!! his writing style is so fucking flat it's no wonder anybody can breeze through the books. everybody's just jumping on his bandwagon... he's just putting out books that can be massed produced into the next big hollywood blockbuster. the man's nothing more than the new Tom Clancy or John Grisham.

first, i would like to say i enjoyed reading the davinci code and angels and demons a lot. they were fun to read for sure. but they very formulaically written. not really any good suprises; it was obvious someone close to langdon was going to turn out to be the teacher. it was obvious koller wasn't the bad guy, just because you could tell that was what you were supposed to think. The 'divine femenine' thing in divinci code was so over talked about, it got annoying. i would put him above grisham and clancy though.

haha...even if you really, really liked the book...anyone get the feeling that author needs to get laid and is living a bit of a fantasy.

come on...a professor traveling around giving talks getting ass from a crypto chick who at the end pretty much said when i see you next we're not leaving the room?

sounds like a good porno to me:)

while we're not getting flamed by a bunch of kids who can't recognize talent in writing, I thought the chick in Angels and Demons was just a tacked on character and a desparate grasp for some romantic/sexual interest. I will say this though, they're good books for overseas flights because you can finish them quick. i read Angels and Demons just because i wanted to learn more about the Illuminati and I'll probably get around to DaVinci code becasue i'm a huge history nerd but like i said: good research, very little talent prose-wise.
