Keep in mind people – the book is fiction. It isn’t a religious attack. It’s meant to be entertainment, not a guide to the way you live your life. Don’t be offended by creativity and imagination.

I don’t get the big deal.

When I studied “The davinci code ” and ” Angels & Demons”, it showed me a different world and I understood that how many possible humans believes and Cultures and religions in two different Places in the word are so familiar to each others. I mean pagans and Old Persian symbols and legends are very similar.
In highlands in west of Iran and east of Iraq and north east of Turkey that named Kurdistan are living peoples with independent peoples named Kurd that are from ancient Arians I live in this place and have few reasons that seen and studied by myself about these familiars with pagans in Europe that Brawn said in this book.
In ancient Iran have been religions named “Mehr adore” mehr is son. This religion after fall of Persian empire by Arabs in 6th century A.D for being safety from Moslems troops with new apparent are changing in Islam styles in order to ” Truth mans” this sect are still living in Iran .
Iranians after Arabs attacks fire – temples names to Islam saints (in your discourse ” conversion motion”). These are some factors that may interest for you:
1 – Dual worshiping (god be named “ahoora” and evil be named “ahriman”) was in ancient Iran. And now is in “Zoroaster” religion.
2 – There was a life tree (lotus) that was named “Anahita” as venues that was rain goddess. in my city is an ancient temple that named ” Anahita temple” from about 2 century A.D. in it’s stones are several sign of we have few female saint in before Islam and so in Islam as ” Fatima” sign of jasmine flower are for her .
3 – In “Zoroaster” religions we have “farvhar” sign that moved from ancient religions, sign is pointing to third worshiping and have symmetries in parts. This sign is in a many of ancient place and now Iranian young fashion peoples are wearing like necklace.
4 – Sign of thumb finger in Iran is the same of middle finger sing for western people as revile.
5 – Jasmine flower is Iranian religion daughter of Mohammad. In several holy place in my country “holy female” are daughters of saints. Those remind me “Sofia” and pigeon is sign of innocent angels.
6 – Iranians believe of seven angels like you said. Number of 7 for Iranians is holy number.
7 – Halo of saints in old religions and Islam are the same of Christians.
8 – In Iran history in 9th century “Hasan Sabah” revolutionist with his disciples are living in North Mountains of Iran. They named “Hasshashions”. Said they were inebriate when want suspend their enemies.
9 – ” devil adores” are living in western mountains of Iran and Kurdistan.
This fact that I said is small part of detailed information that about links between history and legends of Western history that Brawn as nice as described by his books

This may well be the worst book I’ve ever read.

WHEN Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code became one of the most widely read novels in recent years, it is clear that millions of readers have become riveted with Mr Brown’s knowledge of spiritual truths wrapped in fabrics of fantasy.

This is where my problem lies. Mr Brown’s fantastic fiction writing is simply terrible. In one singular tome, he sets forth mind-blowing conspiracy theories with relentless passion because a third installment of protagonist Robert Langdon’s encounters, adventures, and idiosyncrasies cannot wait. And he begs for understanding. Fast. Witness how we learn what we can about the grandeur of phi, amongst others, because we need to understand—fast— that phi is as hunky and brainy as Langdon is.

This is great if you approach it as pure entertainment, not as a historically accurate explanation of the Holy Grail story. It doesn’t put forward a single theory that hasn’t been suggested or claimed in the past, but it’s a rattling good yarn, and a real page-turner.

One hell of a book, once you start reading this you’ll never put it down. It has some really fasinating insights about art and ratio of life or something, I say its worth a read.

It’s hard to know whether or not this book is worth consuming. It exists in that gray area of books which are neither recommend-able nor condemn-able. It’s a good book to have on hand for an afternoon’s easy read when there’s just nothing better to do or for a plane trip when something more substantial just won’t do. It’s okay. But that’s all.

Dan Brown is to art history what Michael Crighton is to science. Read it if you must, but don’t take a word of it as truth.

I’ve been reading this when I get the time, despite what people have said I find the book is pretty good. It’s pretty interesting, even if it is written sort of in a “murder mystery” style… But I’m enjoying it so far.

that the prose is quite workmanlike, that the characters and dialogue were cut out of cardboard, and that this hardly qualifies as literature. But it is a light frothy snack easily consumed at a sitting, and it won’t do you much harm. Besides, it’s worth being familiar with so you can understand what the furor was about (and is about, with the movie coming out soon!). You can enjoy tearing it to pieces with your literary-minded room-mates or chat about it in earnest when you’re stuck in line with an Oprah devotee devoid of your indie-hipster pretensions – it’s a guaranteed conversation starter!

It had some interesting ideas. Too bad it wasn’t written by someone more talented. People seem to like it because “it’s a page turner” but that doesn’t make it great literature.
