I think the Church can withstand a little tweaking here and there, but the notion that faith is so dead that no legitimate journalist would even want to cover the death of the Pope was just too much for me. And I read it a year before Pope John Paul II died, and the whole world converged for the media event. Cheap shot by Brown.
Oh yeah, that and the fact that every sentence is filled with the most purple prose that you really need to hold your nose to read. Random example: "Three rungs deeper, he almost fell again, but this time it was not a rung that caused the mishap. It was a bolt of fear." (274). Oh, please. And I searched all of 8 seconds for that example.

I didn't like it when I read it - but I read it again and enjoyed it much more the second time... I think it has a few too many twists at the end but it will surely be a very cool movie.

I think it was brilliantly written....certainly better than The Da Vinci Code.

ugh, hated that book.
it was a little too gruesome and descriptive about how the priests were killed, and the helicopter thing was too surreal
