This was the first book that I ever picked up to get into reading. When I started reading this book at first, I thought this book was very slow paced. I started reading how he was travelling and I absolutely hated it. I thought I should just skip to the good part of this book, but then later realized how the plain parts make the intense parts so special.
By the time I read about how Fache thought Langdon was the culprit of Saunire's death, I was hooked. The book is awesome. I loved the chase. I loved how somehow Langdon and Sophie kept getting into trouble but ended up getting out of it in the end.
I think I could not enjoy this book as much as I wanted to because of my religion and being unable to understand what was being said in some parts because I was not exposed to this type of literature before. I think it would have been better if I knew who templars were and what the Grail was. Nonetheless, I liked the book.
I loved the part where you come to know that Teabing himself is the Teacher. It caught me off guard. But then thinking about it again, it made perfect sense. The amount of thought Dan Brown put into making this masterpiece is incredible. Thinking about the Fibonachi sequence and talking about it for pages. PS being short for both Princess Sophie and Priory of Scion. The double meanings really made me enjoy the book at a level I could not expect.

Ahahaha...
This book would easily be four stars if I was rating it based on how much I liked it as a fun thrill romp across France and England with some inventive symbology. However, the entire story is ruined by one page. It's the very first page. The very first page seems to imply we should be taking all of this seriously. If you don't think that's the case, I'd like to introduce you to numerous people who seem to have been under this impression (they're probably in the comments). Dan Brown's book is full of little inaccuracies that fly in the face of "meticulous research", huge reaches, and things that really just don't make a lick of sense, such as Jesus being mortal and Mary still retaining "goddess" status.
Furthermore, I did nooot expect this book to be as dorky as it was. Langdon and Sophie are so goshdarned perfect and at the same time when the plot wants them to be, totally dense-- why oh why do they look at the literal backwards text for a whole five minutes before it dawns on them what it is? How would this stump anyone? ??????? I can't believe a critically acclaimed novel takes time to meander through Langdon's awkward attempts to use slang with his class (cardboard cutouts of cardboard cutouts of actual students at the college level) or to point out "HEY REMEMBER THE DUST IN THE LION KING THAT SPELLS "SEX"?!"
yeah, because buzzfeed told me.
That said. Instead of trying to open your third eye with this book. Turn your brain off a little and it is a fun, dense thriller. I really enjoyed it all the way through, and yes, Dan Brown can weave a yarn you don't want to put down. Give the man his credit where it's due.
