ME ENCANTA, sin palabras. Pedazo de obra maestra.
Amo cada detalle que te muestra y te enseña. No soy de leer clásicos pero no me arrepiento de nada.

Terrible written.
Why would you create characters to talk about the book? They are not believable. And they are annoying.

Instead of a scientific comparison between the Da Vinci Code and facts I got characters laughing at how stupid the book according to them was.

Usually not my kind of book, but the combo of history, travel, mystery and challenges to religious dogma really hooked me.

“The Davinci Code” to me is proof that hype is not equal to quality. This book caused a huge outrage when it first released due to it’s extremely controversial claims and through all this it gained a cult following in literature culture. I decided it was time I finally gave this book a read. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed.
While I hear Dan Brown gets better the more modern his books are, I cannot say I enjoyed my time with “The Da Vinci code. The book is a murder mystery story that’s overshadowed by it’s complex theori regarding the bloodline of Jesus and the curriptivity in the Catholic Church. It feels like Brown is far more interested in talking about these ideas rather than telling a compelling story as every plot point and character just felt like a tool to get to the next conspiracy. The academic historical accuracy of this book is also inflated by the author and while certain things are based on historical fact, you are going to have to take quite a few academic liberties to be able to accept Brown’s theories. You can see here that Brown wanted to write a story that showed people these complex conspiracies, but he was definitely more focused on getting those conspiracies across as the book's themes and symbolism are extremely disjointed.
It’s hard to deny the cultural impact “The Davinci Code” has had on people. I have to give it credit for getting people to question things in the time it came out and being unafraid to share how unclean the church and the things within it are. While I agree with quite a few general ideas he states, I really wasn’t able to accept his strange theories. And if those ideas aren’t sticking with you throughout the book, then there really isn’t much here for the average person to gain. I feel that there are probably better books out there to get people questioning these topics and so I would recommend you find one of those books instead of spending your hard earned time on this.
