I might lend my mums book of it then. It looks intresting. It's something to do with Leonardo Di Vinci, and Jesus, among other things. Supposedly based on true things/events.

It's one of the biggest selling books of all time, I think.

Its an awesome book and its a hit by Dan Brown. I heard there was some problem though because some Catholics/Christians thought it misrepresented their religion or something (no racism meant guys)

if you are not offended by the whole Jesus thing, read it, it is unbelievably good, and I don't like religion that much :p
It isn't a religous book, but it does relate to Jesus a little.

I just finished reading it and I must say, wow. I loved it!
I thought it was a great book and I enjoyed the facts in it just as much as the story.
I'm sort of rereading it now so I can get a better understanding. Has anyone read the first one Angels and Demons? I might read that as well, I don't know if it's any good though. Joyous! xD

I started reading it months ago, but only like a few chapters at night so I got no where and it was only when I went on holiday I read solidly.
So thats why I am rereading sections because I just didn't have a clue. But I would keep at it, good book.
I hear they're making a film of it? Can't wait! =D

I haven't read it but I'm really going to read it. I'm far from religious so that book is perfect for me. :) :p
I heard to book is beautiful.

For the people who don't know what it is:
It is a book explaing other views and thoughts about the church, bible, jesus etc etc. If you are really religious, don't read it!

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.



Hope This Helps :D

It is a fantastic book, i finished reading it not that long ago, and even although i am catholic i didn't get offended by it.
I won't tell you the plot and things cause that's the whole point in the book, but i highly recommend anyone to read it, it is a brilliant book.

Mm, the end was strange, but I guess they had to lead you away from the main plot. So all is good!
Oh yeah, does anyone know if Aringarosa follows anyone else or is it just The Teacher?

In my opinion it is an awesome book. It was reccomended to me by my mum and i really enjoyed it. If you like the whole conspiracy thing then you will like it a lot. It has lots of interesting views on Jesus and his life. I recently went on the Opus Dei website (yeah i was bored like hell) and they hated it (you'll find out why if you read it).

I read it a weekend a few months ago, its a very interesting book based on conspiracies & stories surrounding Jesus Christ & Mary Mandolin, although its not really something i could read twice i still reconmend it.
