Default Da Vinci code....

Does anyone understand it or know how to break certain codes with it???? I'm just curious because I was given a few codes to break by my friend, kind of difficult, but still trying...

There is a reason this book is in the fiction section. Bunk.

Are you talking about the book? If so, I didn't attempt to break any of the codes, I just read it and enjoyed it

It is fiction, but Dan Brown does throw in some historical facts.

His history of paganism, symbology and the stupidity of the catholic church is fairly accurate.

Yeah, he is pretty good. I'm reading through Angles & Demons right now (I believe that's the name), but it isn't as good as The Da Vinci Code was. However, it's still an enjoyable read.

Definitely good books. I actually read DaVinci code last (after finishing all his others). Wasn't disappointed by anything other than the lack of the european chick that the main character hooked up with in the previous book. I wanted more explanation as to what happened to her.

I enjoyed DaVinci Code, but Digital Fortress was awful!! There were so many stupid coincidences in it as to be beyond belief. And books have to be really bad before I say that.
