I was wondering if anyone has read the Book "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. I started reading this about 4 weeks ago and im hooked i aint finished yet soo no one PLEASE tell me the ending, but just wanted your general thoughts.

The Movie is also released in May 06 starring Tom Hanks!

Wait for your replies
 
I read it and i hated it because it took so long to get to the point also i didnt understand the whole point or concept of the book. but a lot of my friends liked it so i guess your just like them!!!

can't imagine tom hanks as the main guy...can almost hear every in the movie house screaming "run forest, run"...during the chase at the beginning of the book :)

But the court ruled against the prosecuters and decided that he hadn't stole the ideas.
And I thought it was a great book, someone recommended it and I didnt think anything of it but then she kept going on about it so I started reading it........................and I was hooked. ;D

Sooo true. I was reading that bit at night when I first read it and I had to sleep with the covers over my head to keep myself 'safe'. ;D
 
guys, those of you who did enjoy da vinci, trust me, DO go in for ANGELS & DEMONS... its fascinating...the ILLUMINATI will give u more dan nightmares...as will the bomb attack on the vatican, the heart of the christian world....
 
Greetings,

I'm sure there's been a thread about this before, but I can't find it right now.

EDIT: Here it is: davinci code

I enjoyed the book overall. I thought the plot was fast-paced and gripping, but the author's writing style was utterly terrible. So many cliches and cheesy moments, as well as that irritating habit he has of suddenly inserting the characters' thoughts into the text in italics.

Overall, though, a great read, and I'd recommend it to anyone - as long as they weren't expecting a work of literature...

The Vatican is the centre of the world for Catholics, not all Christians.

The Vatican is the centre for Roman Catholics. There are many Catholic churches - Ukrainian, Greek, Greek Melkite, Maronite, Ruthenian Byzantine, Coptic Catholic, Syro-Malabar, Syro-Malankara, Chaldean, Ethiopean, Eastern Orthodox Churches such as the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox, the Oriental Orthodox, the Assyrian Church of the East, the Anglicans, and some very small groups such as the Old Catholic Church, the Independent Catholic, the Ancient and Liberal Catholic Churches as well as the Lutherans.

In short, there are a lot of Catholics who aren't Roman Catholic.

True, but isn't the Vatican the centre of their faith too?

(Except for the Anglicans and Lutherans, who are Protestant.)
