I couldn’t resist and watched the movie after finishing the book. And off course, like most people, the book was so much better. In the book everything is explained better and more. You have all those historical flashbacks about what happened 400 years ago.

I just enjoy Dan Brown’s books so much. Especially the Robert Langdon books. I love the mystery and all the historical facts (or not). Like in each book, there are so many pov’s and it’s just so easy to read.

I gave it 4.5 because sometimes the passages are a bit too long.

It's such crap. It was painful to read the whole thing and yet I wanted to finish it because everyone I knew had given it 5 stars. Worse than a long boring episode of a police procedural, it contains unnecessary jargon, first scientific then architectural, then just Italian words. A lot of it, even plot-wise could've been edited out. Not thrilling. It's a boring fantasy. I was intrigued by the concept of religion vs science but this book doesn't do it enough justice.

Great book that changed my perspective of Catholic churches and people and know more about the Illuminati and past centuries' scientists/ artist.
Also I really like how the brands are symmetrical. They were great.

Dan Brown might not be the best or well versed writer but I enjoyed this book. Yes, there are things that happen that are unrealistic and over the top or things that are way too convenient but that didn’t prevent me from wanting to progress in the story. I don’t need everything I read to be an intellectual journey, sometimes I just need some mindless fun and this book scratched that itch for me.
