	The Da Vinci Code » Book Reviews » Official Website of Dan Brown
		The Da Vinci Code shines--brilliantly--in its exploration of cryptology, particularly the encoding methods developed by Leonardo Da Vinci, whose art and manuscripts are packed with mystifying symbolism and quirky codes.
		The Da Vinci Code is a thrill-a-minute adventure as well as an educational tour of France and England, symbology 101, riddle-breaking for dummies, the magical powers of anagrams, numerical codes to die for and navigational factoids.
		The Da Vinci Code has enough twists and turns in a short amount of time to give you over to gasping "More, Dan, more!" It is thrilling that anyone could contrive such an adventure.

	The Da Vinci Code (2006) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Da Vinci Code is a chilling, thrilling and well-sewn together mystery thriller that often keeps you on the edge of your seat.
		To counter the good parts, two big minuses in The Da Vinci Code are its wooden and sometimes even placeholder dialogue and its distinct lack of humor.
		So, never mind the occasionally insultingly far-fetched plot and plot-twists by Dan Brown; The Da Vinci Code is a nicely done and very entertaining film in which nothing feels missing or incomplete.

	Da Vinci Code
		The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, achieved status on the New York Times best seller list for several months after its release in March of 2004.
		There have been many articles exposing the errors of the Da Vinci Code book so we will not going to too many details but we will provide several quotes from characters in the book followed by commentary demonstrating their inaccuracy.
		The Da Vinci Code is an enjoyable read as far as fiction goes but it is not very accurate in his conclusions.

	Da Vinci Code: The Movie
		The Da Vinci Code's storyline rests upon this kind of mythological foundation, inverting the accepted gospel accounts as fabrication and replacing Goddess mythology as the repressed truth.

	Catholic Answers Special Report: Cracking The Da Vinci Code
		So popular has The Da Vinci Code become that it has created a marketing boom for books related to the novel, and it has become the subject of a major motion picture scheduled to be released in 2005.
		Da Vinci is portrayed as a former head of the conspiracy guarding the "truth" about Jesus Christ.
		The Da Vinci Code continues in that vein, and it was popular enough to revive sales of the previous books (which had lackluster performance) and pull them onto the bestseller list.

	The Da Vinci crock - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		"The Da Vinci Code" is indeed a cheesy thriller, with all the familiar qualities of the genre at its worst: characters so thin they're practically transparent, ludicrous dialogue, and prose that's 100 percent cliché.
		The story begins with the murder of a curator at the Louvre and follows his estranged granddaughter, a French cryptologist, as she and a handsome Harvard professor attempt to solve the crime while evading the police (who suspect them in the murder) and assorted bad guys.
		For Brown's part, it's to his advantage to insist that the farrago of lies and misrepresentations used to prop up the conspiracy theory in "The Da Vinci Code" (and, originally, in "Holy Blood, Holy Grail") is part of the historical record or at least in general circulation.

	Amazon.com: The Da Vinci Code: Books: Dan Brown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The religious theories in the Da Vinci Code are fairly interesting though the amount of truth in them is only known by men long dead, and if there is some kind of successor to this knowledge they have yet to come forward.
		The principle characters in the Da Vinci Code are forgettable and could be interchanged with the characters from any of his other novels without anyone noticing the difference.
		The Da Vinci Code is a good thriller; provided you don't have ridiculously high expectations; although if you haven't read any of Dan Brown's novels, you may want to start with Angels and Demons, which is the best one.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Da Vinci Code: Books: Dan Brown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Da Vinci Code is a badly written, unoriginal, cliched pot- boiler that is full of stereotypical characters.
		The characters are rather two-dimensional; the love-interest between the two central characters is laughably shoe-horned in; the "codes" (despite being a clever concept for drawing the reader in) are by turns impossible to unravel and absurdly easy to decipher; the "historical" data has been mostly debunked and is at times laughable (and is wholly derivative).
		Even though DA VINCI CODE is a historical fiction, this is a very good book to read.

	The Da Vinci Code - Book Review
		If The Da Vinci Code is literature, it is in any case not the kind of literature I turn to when I’m in the mood for literature.
		According to The Da Vinci Code, Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus, and their offspring included the Merovingian kings of France.
		Hence Mary Magdalene, and not the last-supper cup, was the Holy Grail, in that her womb served as the chalice from which the royal blood of Jesus flowed forth in a royal posterity.

	PopMatters Books Interview \| Da Vinci Turns Two: The Fiction of Historical Accuracy
		Dan Brown's mystery/thriller The Da Vinci Code is the kind of phenomenon for which the words "mammoth" and "blockbuster" were seemingly invented.
		Da Vinci's success has also had the effect of spinning off dozens of "response" books by historians, quasi-historians and trivia-peddlers hawking insights into the secrets of the mothership tome.
		Da Vinci is a fiction novel, and what's more, it's a thriller -- a page-turner designed to provide a hook on every page, and a cliffhanger in every chapter.

	The Da Vinci Code
		One could classify The Da Vinci Code as diverting, but it has sidestepped greatness by a wide margin.
		As a film derived from a book, The Da Vinci Code isn't a fiasco on the order of The Bonfire of the Vanities nor is it a triumph a la The Lord of the Rings.
		On film, The Da Vinci Code is not so much a fascinating puzzle as a prolonged slog through material that resists the screen.

	Amazon.ca: The Da Vinci Code: Special Illustrated Edition: Books: Dan Brown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		"The Da Vinci Code" is so much more than a gripping suspense thriller; Dan Brown takes us beyond the main plot and leads us on a quest for the Holy Grail; a Grail totally unlike anything we have been taught to believe.
		The two find several puzzling codes at the murder scene, all of which form a treasure map to the fabled Holy Grail.
		There are no less than 20 books in print that attempt to support or refute the information found in "The Da Vinci Code." I have never seen such polarization over a work of fiction before.

	Da Vinci Code Truth
		As I started researching The Da Vinci Code, I really thought I would disprove a lot of this theory about Mary Magdalene and the Holy Blood and all of that.
		The truth about Christ and Mary Magdalene has been kept alive by a secret society named the Priory of Sion that was led by great minds like Da Vinci.
		One of the key points put forward by Brown as Da Vinci code truth is that the Bible cannot be trusted.

	Debunking the Da Vinci Code II
		There are simply so many assertions of “fact” in The Da Vinci Code that are totally and utterly false that, once again, it’s hard to know where to begin.
		The main character in the novel, Robert Langdon, cracks the mysterious code left behind by Sauniere, the murdered curator of the Louvre and discovers that the bones of Mary Magdalene are buried in the Louvre.
		To conclude: The Da Vinci Code is a fast paced but poorly written murder mystery full of ridiculous errors of fact.

	No Gospel in "Da Vinci Code" Claims, Scholars Say
		At the heart of Brown's novel is the suggestion that da Vinci hid clues about the secret of Jesus and Mary within one of his masterpieces, "The Last Supper."
		Conspicuously missing from da Vinci's painting is the cup, also known as the Holy Grail, from which Jesus Christ is believed to have drunk on the night before his execution.
		In fact, there is no evidence that da Vinci was a member of the Priory of Sion or that such a society even existed.
