The DaVinci Code

<p>What happened at the end?</p>

<p>They suck face.</p>

<p>Why don't you just read it? It's not like it takes a month to read or anything.</p>

<p>I did read it, but couldnt understand the ending</p>

<p>yeah I read the entire book in about 2 days. Its one of the easiest reads ever.</p>

<p>Excellent Book.</p>

<p>"Excellent Book"</p>

<p>Agreed. I just hope they don't make it suck when it becomes a movie.</p>

<p>hella easy read, it only took me like 5 hours to read it...wasn't that good though...Dan Brown isn't THAT good of a writer, Angels and Demons is definitely his best/[only good] work.</p>

<p>anyways, the end: he discovers the grail, its inside the pyramid at the louvre. i think.</p>

<p>dont take what firebird said. Dan Brown is a great writer. Just because a book takes you only 5 hours to read (which i think he is lying about) doesnt mean its a bad book. If someone reads a book continuosly for so long it has to be good. Thats also the reason why it has been a best seller. Read it its very good!</p>

<p>It is an easy read... but nicely written</p>

<p>umm...just because he's written a best seller does not make him a <em>good</em> writer... and some of his books are quite intellectually un-stimulating (AKA written for, like, 10 year olds), I must say...</p>

<p>Case in point: Digital Fortress. oh man, quite possibly the worst book ever written...</p>

<p>Again, im not saying he's bad (i enjoyed A&D, for example), just that he isnt a GREAT writer, that's all.</p>

<p>It's a love it or hate it sort of book. I hated it (I got to the end and threw it across the room). One friend loved the first 400 pages and hated the rest. Another friend said that it had a good plot, but the writing was "juvenile" - which I agree with. I read it in about four hours; not because I thought it was good, but because I had spent something like 20 bucks on it (due to all of the "good" reviews out there) and didn't want to waste it.</p>

<p>Just because a book is popular doesn't mean that it is actually good.</p>

<p>The ending was kind of vague. Brown was a good writer, in my opinion. He made a complex plot rather simple. Just because he doesn't use SAT vocab for every other word doesn't make him a poor writer. </p>

<p>I don't think he found the grail. I think the deal with the whole pyramid was that he figured out the true meaning of the grail.</p>

<p>his plot isn't complex.</p>

<p>its just A leads to B leads to C leads to D leads to E.</p>

<p>and he finds the grail in the louvre where mary madgelene is buried. the grail is the chance to see jesus' forgotten wife.</p>

<p>It's more "complex" than most other books I've read. I still disagree that he found the grail. I think he learns the true meaning of it.</p>

<p>What kind of ending is that if he really found it? So utopian and it kills the story.</p>

<p>Besides, Brown never states he finds it. If I'm wrong and he did, then I stand corrected.</p>

<p>The dinosaurs escape, but it's okay, because then a meteor hits earth. And everyone dies as a result.</p>

<p>It's just like watching a good tv show. It's fun, entertaining, and the time passes by in what seems like moments. But in the end, you don't really get anything out of it, except for the entertainment value.</p>

<p>This is certainly not a bad thing.</p>

<p>I enjoyed the DaVinci Code and recently just finished Angels and Demons. I thought they were both rather similar. There was one scene in Angels and Demons towards the end involving the helicopter that was really far fectched ( I don't want to give anything away). That almost ruined the book for me.</p>

<p>Pyroman, have you ever really disliked a food but kept on eating it not because you were hungry but because you were compelled to, because there was a hint of redeeming quality and you somehow felt that you had to isolate and actually taste it but before you know it the food is gone, there was no redeeming quality, and you are fat and defiled?</p>

<p>I read more for the secret society and art information than for the plot, which is really repetitive in all of his books.</p>
