The Da Vinci Code..

Johnny5 · 16th November 2004, 04:03 PM

Has anyone read this novel? It seems at first glance to be a trashy thriller along the lines of Tom Clancy etc. but it's actually very interesting and looks into the the supposed history of the Bible and Jesus Christ.

Probably most interesting if you've been raised in a religious family. It's a great read, one of those ones that you pick up and don't realise 5 hours have passed.

i've got that to read after i've finished 'the dead days', does sound good like.

My friend was raving on about this on Saturday. I bought the book in Asda ages ago but I still ain't had a chance to read it yet. Going by the blurb on the back and what I have heard people say about it it sounds like its the sort of book that will certainly be right down my alley. So hopefully I will get cracked into that book come the christmas holidays

Its scarilly easy to read, much easier than some better books.

That said it's a great book to become a bestseller.

Johnny5 · 16th November 2004, 08:44 PM

yes, it's very fast paced and there's always something to keep you reading, sign of a good book

ma bro and his bm have been going on about it for ages, don't thinkl its my cup of tea though.

Its an ace book. But its a sequel to a book called Angels and Demons which was far better in my opininion. Like seriously good - best book iv ever read. Check it out.

Johnny5 · 18th November 2004, 11:39 PM

is that the prequel? same character and stuff?

Indigo_Jordan · 19th November 2004, 12:41 AM

Yeah with Robert Langdon etc.

Cool, i thought he wrote seperate books and it wasn't a series so didn't really bother. Cheers for the tip off.
