'Rule of Four' is a much better book of this type. It is about a 1499 real book and four Princeton students and a professor who try to find what it mean and if it could lead to a treasure. Has been called 'the thinking man's "Da Vinci Code" ' without the religion.

This book is so good thus far! I am currently reading this for a project at school, and I cannot put it down. Warning: If you are a devout Catholic, you might find this offensive. This is a work of fiction (i.e. Not everything in here is true, including some of the historical references). And, yes, religious symbology is real. What do you call a cross, or an Ichthys (fish), or a Star of David? Religious symbols. If you still don't believe me, look it up.

Robert is caught up in another mystery of codes, not what he expected on his travels to Paris. Here he meets up with Sophie while being investigated for the potential murderer of a prominent art curator, Jacques. He is caught in whirlwind escapade with Sophie while trying to stay alive and out of police custody. Some areas were easy to see where writer was going, but a good read with the continuation of Robert sherlock-holmes-ing.

An entertaining work of fiction. A great hunt for tresure full of twists and turns and new revelations. Actual truths of the book have been debated by many. If you are interested in the full details on both sides of all arguments brought up for discussion, I recommend reading The Da Vinci Code and then checking out a book or two that specifically goes over claims made within it.

As a practicing Roman Catholic, I had many doubts about a lot of the situations at the begining of the book. As I delve deeper in to the book, the action and suspence deepened. By the end of the book, it made me question not only who I am but who is god as well. Good book all the way around.

wonderful, wonderful book. Well researched, and tought me so much in a fun way. Symbolism was amazing, and is most definitly a great mystery. If you're a romance fanatic, this might not be for you-- but anything else? Go for it!!

More than just another book that's difficult to put down; it inspires research into and review of the history of art, religion, cultural conflicts.

Loved It!!!! All u h8rs out there are out of your minds. One of the best books I've read in a long time. I'm in grade 6 and love books so I've read a lot of books in different areas/genres. But this is the best mystery symbolism/conspiracy book I've read,can't wait to read angels and demons or the lost symbol. Good Work Dan Brown, one of the best authors in the world(in my opinion)!!!!!

I enjoyed reading this book. I couldn't put the book down. Though parts of the book are generic and predictable, what books aren't? The symbolism and the conspiracy theory are both great elements to the book.

A EXCEPTIONAL read! Just, saying, I'm in grade 6, and this book is fabulous. It is a mind-twisting mystery thriller!!! My teacher recommended this book to me and I am so glad she did!!!! In my opinion, Dan Brown is and excellent writer and has proved that his books are excellent a well. A MUST read!!!!
