Thriller writing doesn't get any better than this.
--DENVER POST
This masterpiece should be mandatory reading.
Brown solidifies his reputation as one of the most skilled thriller writers on the planet with his best book yet, a compelling blend of history and page-turning suspense. Highly recommended. --LIBRARY JOURNAL
Exceedingly clever.
Both fascinating and fun...a considerable achievement. --WASHINGTON POST
A heart-racing thriller.
This story has so many twists -- all satisfying, most unexpected -- that it would be a sin to reveal too much of the plot in advance. Let's just say that if this novel doesn't get your pulse racing, you need to check your meds. --SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
One hell of a read.
A gripping mix of murder and myth. --NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Dan Brown's conspiracy-theory thriller is the pulp must-read of the season...an ingenious mixture of paranoid thriller, art history lesson, chase story, religious symbology lecture and anti-clerical screed, and it's the most fun you can have between the sort of covers that aren't 300-count Egyptian cotton.
--SALON.COM
One of the finest mysteries I've ever
read.
An amazing tale with enigma piled on secrets stacked on riddles. --New York Times bestselling author,
CLIVE CUSSLER
Far more than the average thriller.
Intellectually satisfying...page-turning suspense. --HOUSTON CHRONICLE
I would never have believed that
this is my kind of thriller, but I'm going to tell you something--the
more I read, the more I had to read. In The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown
has built a world that is rich in fascinating detail, and I could not
get enough of it.
Mr. Brown, I am your fan. --New York Times bestselling author, ROBERT CRAIS
The Da Vinci Code sets the hook-of-all-hooks.

this book.

HARLAN COBEN
A stunning new thriller that will provoke much debate.
Dan Brown's extensive research on secret societies and symbology adds intellectual depth to this page-turning thriller. His surprising revelations on Da Vinci's penchant for hiding codes in his paintings will lead the reader to search out renowned artistic icons as The Mona Lisa, The Madonna of the Rocks and The Last Supper. The Last Supper holds the most astonishing coded secrets of all and, after reading The Da Vinci Code, you will never see this famous painting in quite the same way again. --BOOKREPORTER.COM
Some readers spurn genre fiction, often due to a misguided belief that mass entertainment is always mindless dribble. For those of you who know better, The Da Vinci Code will make you feel justifiably smug. It's that rare book that manages to both entertain and educate simultaneously.
Dan Brown has managed to outdo the best of Robert Ludlum in this byzantine....and engrossing story. There is enough medieval history to please any historian and enough action to satisfy a hardcore thrill-seeker. Combined, it makes The Da Vinci Code an early favorite for thriller of the year.
--ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
Brown's intricate plot delivers more satisfying twists than a licorice factory.
--BOOKLIST
Brainy stuff. The standard car chases and intrigues are leavened with Crichtonesque discursions on medieval iconography, the formation of the early Christian church, and history's suppression of the "sacred feminine."
--ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Enthralling.
Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail... rich food for thought. -AMAZON.COM
Taut and engaging.
From the explosive start to the explosive finish, The Da Vinci Code is one satisfying thriller. --MOSTLYFICTION.COM
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.
-WIRED MAGAZINE
A blockbuster with brains.
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 OTTAWA CITIZEN
Brown's scholarship never slows down the sizzling action [of this] absorbing new novel...a labyrinth of intricate schemes, sidetracks, and deceptions.
--BOOKPAGE
You'll love this.
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 SEATTLE TIMES
