Yes. It is a very good book. But, I do not think the average EvBoarder would like it.

I agree. It's one of the best fiction novels I've read in a while. ;)

I asked for it for X-mas, It sounded like a good read to me! :painting:

ill pretend like i understand just for you.... 8) ahh sorry. i'm not allowed to by books that cost more than...what is it now- 7$? no i think it's ten...some stupid rule of my mom's :?

I've heard it's really good from quite a few people. I plan on reading it when it comes out in paperback. I'm not a big fan of humongous hardcover books.

huh...weird....I would think that instead of video games and dvd's, which cost much more than $10 would be the one's not allowed...weird...you should ask your mom for a copy of the bible...those definetely aren't less than 10...I think...I don't know...never bought one. That is weird! How are you supposed to expand your vocabulary and knowledge and stuff? :shock:

I seriously read that book in 3 days. I was ADDICTED to it.

Now i'm starting to read his other book, angels and demons.. has anyone read that one?? is it like The Da Vinci Code?

The Da Vinci Code is really a good read as long as you realize that most of it is fictional, based on some fuzzy science. I really enjoyed, although at one point I stopped reading to do some research just to get the facts and fiction straight.

i really want to read this book..
but i just.... heaven't


and damn, not allowed to buy books over $10... that's just stupid

I like you. You are cool. :D

angels and demons wasnt as good. its involves a great deal more of science... its a bit slower too.... and the very last line of the book made me mad.

its was pretty good though. the da vinci code was way better .... 10 times better

<== has been reading it :D

Oh STFU!!!:p :p , so they got it on yoga-style afterwards. They deserved it. :cool:

And to Aubstress, Angels and Demons is the prequel to The DaVinci Code. I haven't read The DaVinci Code yet, because I too don't usually like spending 25 bucks on a book. I'd rather wait for it to come out in paper-back. A&D was so good though that I probably will buy The DaVinci Code pretty soon and read it.

yeah.... i know that its the prequel... but i read the da vinci code first. i guess my standards were set a bit high for angels and demons :D


you should definatly read the da vinci code though... its REALLY good. its an excellently written book.... the paperback is out (or at least where i live it is)

All this talk of buying the book... ever hear of a library?:cool:

haha... those books have been checked out and reserved in our libraries ever since they came out. but thats a good thought ;)

i'm glad you guys gave feedback b/c a coworker was telling me about it and now i definitely want to read it.

i finally got to read it! and like a few of you, i also stopped at some point to look some things up...but i thought that made it even more interesting. i loved it, especially the way that everything kind of fits together in the end...like he tells you what happens to all of the main characters and answers a lot of the questions which i thought was a great way to end.

i read Angels and Deamons also (after i read the Da Vinci Code). it was a bit hard to get into because at the begining the story is very similar to that of the Da Vinci Code but i liked Angels and Deamons better...except for the last chapter. haha.

lol... :p .. exactly. the last chapter killed it for me... but o well *shrug*. its rather difficult to top off an incredible book with a reasonable ending. :rolleyes:

it wasn't the subject of the ending that killed it so much as the "yoga" bit.

but but..itwas a good book. lol

thats what i thought too.... it kind of threw off the ending. but o well :rolleyes:

::covers ears::: <la! la! la!>

I'm trying not to read anything posted about angels and deamons. I just finished tDVC, and I loved it. I looking forward to researching a bit about the history and symbols he used. It's refreshing to read a good book like this that encourages people to not take history and religion at face value.

Faith is healthy and good, blind faith is foolish and closedminded. Never be afraid to question anything.

I honestly haven't read the book, and I probably won't. It just doesn't sound like my kind of thing.

From what I understand Brown bases a story around the "research" done in Holy Blood, Holy Grail about the Priory of Zion, Knights Templar and the bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdelene. The book's popularity has seemed to have spread this idea like wildfire without taking into account that the French documents about the Priory are 20th centure forgeries.

I suppose it's the same thing that bothered me with the movie Stigmata. I loved it till the end when they made the assertion that the Gospel of Thomas was somehow the "real" teachings of Jesus and the Church has been involved in a millenia long fight to suppress it. People buy into that because everyone loves a conspiracy, yet they never take the time to find out that Thomas was probably written significantly later than the synoptics.

did I get off topic enough?

I'm currently reading the hard back cover of it (just bought it today) and I noticed a hidden message on the inside jackets, where they summorize the book. There's letters in bold all over the place, and if you put them in order, it says:

Is the reno help for the widow son

I'm not sure if the letters were bolded on random....but...it just seemed odd to me.

Btw the way. It's a good book. "Wow" on every page and cliffhanger on every chapter.

My math teacher was talking to us about that when we were decoding stuff. He copied the jackets so we could see the bolded message. I don't know what it means though, I haven't read the book yet. :p

And also, is that PHI number true about all the ratios about nature? Like the ratio from shoulder to finger tip and elbow to finger tip is always 1.618 to 1? And your height versus belly button to floor?

I've tried measuring..but the number's always something like...1.78 etc.

Actually, it says: "Is there no help for the widow's son"

There was a little quiz sort of thing on the publisher's site (http://www.randomhouse.com/doubleday/davinci/), and the bolded letters that formed a phrase was part of it. It's supposed to give you a hint as to what the next book will be about.

Ooooo, thank you! Sariala is a gggenius!

For Da Vinci Code fans out there, go to http://www.randomhouse.com/doubleday/davinci/ to crack some of your own codes. Awesome, just awesome. You'll notice some more stuff on the book cover, and a few bizarre facts.

I read it, I really loved it! It's got a lot of interesting theories, I think it has a lot of themes close to feminism. I mean, why would the christian God, if he is all that chrstians make him out to be, shun like 50% of Earth's population, what's so wrong with women? Well, I could rant about this day and night so I better not start. But it was interesting, true or not and I think the christian church should just reconsider some things.

(and it does make sense that women would have been worshipped more than men in the beginning, right? I mean, women do "make" a new person. Okay, men are involved but women sort of build it inside of them and anyways, the early people might not have understood how it works, just that when you bang a girl, voilá, after nine months a baby comes out of her.. Doesn't that kind of mean that a woman is holier than man, closer to God the creator? And why is sex so bad? Because men just want to rule us all and make sex a sin just to oppress women, women can only be whores or virgins, women can't be sexual beings and at the same "pure" or worthy... mutter... okay will try and stop ranting now... mutter...)

The book had a lot of interesting things about general symbolism, I'd really love to study it. Now I understand what all the roses in Utena are about :D

And why did somebody think EvBoarders wouldn't like the book?

While I enjoyed reading it I found myself quite irritated with it as I felt that the suspense and purposeful leaving out of information was too much. I just wanted to know what the heck the things were rather than suddenly switching points of view. Angels and Demons is by far his best book. If you haven't read any of his books, read that one. I cannot even begin to describe just how awesome that book is. Another good one is Deception Point . I actually thought that out of the three The Da Vinci Code would be ranked 3rd.

Yeah, the same thing ticked me off too. I mean, it's like this soap opera cliffhanger thing and it makes no sense in a book. It's a book, we can skip ahead! And we've already bought it, there's no need to make us want to come back for more. We're already back for more. It's a book!

I just finished Deception Point and liked it a lot, but I still do prefer Da Vinci Code, I love mysticism and symbolism. Bought Angels and Demons today, let's see how I like it.
