As always.. Dan Brown's writing captured me. A book filled with knowledge and thrill!! In all his books.. There's a moment where you never want to leave the book aside! All the descriptions made me ponder a bit. So I rated it with 4.5

I finished, 9 years after it went out and probably 8 years after everyone else, the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Had bought it a few years earlier in a second-hand bookshop, and finally opened it. I was expecting something pretty awful, and I actually enjoyed it a lot. In my opinion, it's a very decent thriller. I definitely get the "irks" it got when it was published, but it kind of amused me. I was a bit annoyed by the very obvious tricks (letting characters talk about something and not letting the reader in the confidence before two or three chapters later, having obvious stuff the reader is bound to figure out before the characters - and hence feel good about themselves, stuff like that), but I thought it was entertaining and I did want to know what would happen next. The end felt a bit hasty, but not to the point it's annoying. All in all, glad I read it, might re-read it in a few years ;-)
