I've read it and thought that it was ok... However, during research, I found out so many interesting facts as well as lies. What do you think of it?

Good: Introduced many people to the shaky foundation of Christianity. Since it is not a politically-correct topic, many remain ignorant of it. An entertaining and brisk action thriller.
Bad: Embraced some kooky old theories that have similarly shaky or non-existent foundations and portrayed them as much more substantial than they are. By doing this in correlation with the above, it made it too easy to dismiss the whole thing.

It was good and really gets the reader involved. I like the historic ties, though some of the ideas are not true (however, that is completely fine because it is fiction). It is a very commercial book, so it is not very deep or complex. I only don't like how predictable it is if you read other Dan Brown books before it.

I think I'm the only person in the world who didn't like this book. (Actually, most of my friends weren't too impressed.) I don't think Dan Brown is really a very good writer at all. I think the idea of the book was excellent! The plot was definitely great and if it was written by a better author, could have been ten times better. I just don't like his writing style.
Just my honest opinion.

The writing is awful. Brown makes up for it by spinning a good yarn. But sentence by sentence, it's painful to read if you enjoy the sound and sense of careful writing.

I liked it but didn't love it. The story was pretty interesting, but I wasn't very impressed with his writing style.
