I read this during the Da Vinci code craze. I was unimpressed then and am largely unimpressed now. never really thought i reread this but thanks to a Lisa of Troy's read along group i just wish i could stop at a few chapters like i was supposed to.
Robert Langdon is the type of Main character i dislike. I'll start there since I'm all about characters. He is the type of guy you ask a question, and he responds with a research paper length response. If you ask him what he believes. you'll get a shrug and some PC response also long and drawn out. he's a talker not a doer. which is why Sophie Neveu is the action facilitator. she is the star of the show like the sacred feminine itself. The one-time Langdon was responsible for creating a action he delivered them into danger! The other characters are common types but still entertaining Lee Teabing, Silas, bishop Arinarosa, and Bezu Fache all bring something to the narrative. I feel bad for Silas he's a Frankenstein type character. I'm a softie for Frankenstein. The story was simple and i predicted the teacher 20 years ago and just waited for his arrival this read. I remembered most everything in the book. One is supposed to take a the conspiracy theories and fact check them to go on there own grail quest. i tried this as a teenager and was disappointed to find most "facts" in the book non possible.
Simple story rather entertaining but nothing more. In the end i don't get it. would Jesus having children and a wife be that big a deal? no it would not, at least not to me!
