I would have thought the words " I haven't read the book" would have been enough. But obviously for a dumb **** like yourself it didnt get through the cranial cap.

So for those with an IQ above there age, can someone tell em what the film is about, seeing as, and i'll say it again for Mr Muppet above, I haven't read the book.

Cheers.

Just a thought, but you do have time to read the book between now and when the film comes out...

Well it's nothing to do with the Mona Lisa for a start. Try clicking "Synopsis" beneath the trailer for info.

I didn't get that either...

DS is right too. Could be a good(ish) film script though...

It's a good book for people who don't read books....might actually encourage them to read more

DaVinci code is a fictional thriller written around the myth of the Holy Grail. Its all action, murder mystery page turning stuff. It sold in huge numbers and was enjoyed by millions of people. Successful enough for hollywood to throw big money at it and create a film based on it.

Sort of book you'd take on holiday or stick on your iPOD.

Personally speaking, I found the next book in the series more enjoyable - "Angels & Demons"

In the immortal words of the Holy Moly Rules of Life (possibly the best and most useless website you'll ever come across): "Everyone has a great novel in them. Except Dan Brown"

If the film is as bad as the book then God help us. Repetitive plot and reader patronised by clumsy explanations and signposts throughout; one-paced, no tension, laughable dialogue, one dimensional characters - all of whom you simply detest, and shockingly badly written. A formula for a box office smash hit, no doubt.

His other book is even worse. Can't remember the name, something to do with 'alien' artefacts being discovered by NASA in the Antartic

It could have been a great book, but as above it's very patronising. He's a JK Rowling for adults

Here come all the book experts again, just like music, food, films and cars, books are a preference thing.

I thought DVC was an excellent book, nice bit of fictional thriller, and at the time someone on here said to read "Rule of four" instead as it was much better. Well thats what i'm reading now and half way through its just some boring drivel about some American college students with more "yankisms" in than i'd care to mention.

Got to agree, Im not a book reader and took it on holiday with me cause the misses wanted to sunbathe and I can be bothered sitting doing nowt, couldnt put it down, superb book. Just finished reading Angels and Demons, didnt enjoy as much but it was enough to make me start reading Digital Fortress.
