Dove's (Personal) Review:  Excellent! Intriguing! Outstanding! Brilliantly written, and exhaustively researched! Dan Brown is clearly an author to keep your eye on!
     I read this book in one sitting, from cover to cover. I could NOT put it down. From page one, I was instantly sucked into the story, and stayed put throughout the rest of it.
     I was raised in the Catholic church/school system, and, currently, I do consider myself a Christian. When I finished The DaVinci Code, my mind was racing with questions. This book basically toyed with everything I believe in, LOL, to say the least.
     Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know... it's FICTION. I know that. BUT, there's a small part of me that believes it's possible. And according to all the TV shows/documentaries surrounding the novel, Dan Brown is almost convinced too, due to his extensive research.
     The controversy around the book has made headlines. It's been in newspapers, magazines, all over the Internet, and it's raised more than a few eyebrows at the Vatican, which is understandable due to the content. If you haven't read it yet, you must. Then, you'll understand what all the fuss is about.
     Can you imagine what would happen if this book was found to be true? Do you have any idea what this would do to the world? It would be devastating! I shudder when I think of it.
     Readers be warned: You'll need a very open mind while reading this novel.
     Definitely a GOLD-STAR, TWO-THUMBS-UP ranking for this one!!! Simply marvelous work, Mr. Brown!!!!!
