I love the pace I read this book when it first came out several years ago. It was my first Dan Brown title, and I have since read many others, including all of tge books in this series. I love the pace, suspense, and intricate weaving of details from both art and history into the book.

Templars I've read this book & seen the movie several times, & still find the story absolutely compelling. I plan to visit the areas mentioned, & revel in seeing the ancient buildings referenced. I have read much of the books & information about Mary Magdelene & hope that one day all that information can be actually verified. Dan Brown's writing is superb, he has become my favorite author of all time, & I am an avid reader.. Great suspenseful thriller Jeff DeLuca A suspenseful thriller that will keep you hooked until the end. Obviously this book is pretty old and I had just gotten around to reading it so some of the surprises were ruined for me but even knowing most of what was going to happen it was a very enjoyable read. Once I got about a third of the way through I was hooked and couldn't put it down.
