Dan Brown's way of writing is out of this world. This story brought out so many emotions, so much shock and many tense moments. This book was so mysterious and every event was unexpected. The characters have unique personalities and every single point in this book was linked together.
The story connected science and religion together perfectly. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in mystery, killings and tense situations. The only reason that I rated the book 4.75 and not 5 stars was due to the length, as my own preference is books with ~400 pages.

Im Not Sure, I really Like it the First half but Then Well what
The only poc were a camera Woman who got talked down to by a Rookie News Guy and a murderer/almost-rapist.....

Victoria lost her dad, got almost Killed, knocked Out almost raped and then she Just jumps Landon....
Landon got almost crushed, Shot, drowned, knocked Out, Fell from the Sky and then drowned almost again....

The plottwists Well I think at 2/3 that I suspect the CERN Guy, and the bretrayl from the guard came Out of nowhere
And Then Just everybody dies...nice

3.0

According to my old goodreads profile, i've already read this series but I don't remember it so I wanted to have a 'reread' of them.

It's a very detailed book - too detailed for me to be honest. As expected, it is science and religion heavy which I didn't care for as I was more interested in the 'cracking the code' side of the story.

I did enjoy it though - i'm interested to see how it'll compare to the rest of the series.

Excelente libro.  En mi opinión, mejor que el Código de Da Vinci (y Da Vinci es un 5 estrellas). Misterio, engaño, y muchísimos cambios inesperados. Hace un excelente trabajo en ocultar al antagonista.

This book really had me in a chokehold in so many places and I just could not put it down. Similar though, there were some places at the end that became hard to read. Overall, a fascinating book and one I don't think I will forget for a while.

As usual brilliant Symbiology, mind blowing treasure hunt ..and great plot..of course must read but I will say if we compare this and Da Vinci Code ..Da Vinci code is better .. 
Cemendable Job by Author his research and the Guts to publish  are praiseworthy..
