I don't necessarily affirm the very Gnostic ideas that are promoted by the book but I like the way Dan Brown orchestrates the story of a never ending quest for answering riddles and revelations of intrigue in the end..... One particularly funny scene is Robert relating to the irony of his position when he is like the "Vitruvian Man - upside down"... Anyway, I didn't find the characters 2 dimensional as many have said..... well maybe Langdon was in a way but I really like the way Brown made Sophie Neveau's character and how thorough he is about her exposition and her relationship with Sauniere in the early years of the novel's backstory. You will find many unexpected turns here, and as I mentioned somewhere else I was very intrigued about the twist involving 'The Teacher' I will not mention the actor's name but I am looking forward to the movie as Ron Howard is a man who is capable of helming drama (Apollo 13) fused with suspense (as in The Paper or Ransom) - yes, the actor who would play "The Teacher" couldn't find a rival, in my opinion to play the part as he also plays a villaneous role in one other blockbuster movie coming out this May.
I judge the book as the work of literary fiction and on that level alone, I was amazed at Brown's delaying of exposition - exempli gratia: the basement scene that left Sophie virtually scarred for life and how she sees that in a different light when Langdon speaks to her an unbiased, professor/historian's view of that kind of event... You need not affirm the Gnostic ideas in the story, they have been around long before Dan Brown got this book out in 2003, although I totally agree with the truths about early Christianity being fused with paganism and turned into the hybrid religion that is ruled by the largest hierarchical sector of the Christian faith today. So Gnostic or no Gnostic ideas, the Roman Catholic Church will be outraged at The Da Vinci Code... but as written in this book somewhere, indeed history is but a fable agreed upon by many, which side one chooses to believe is a matter of personal exploration and faith. Mr. Dan Brown has chosen his side, as I have chosen mine... and as are the very angry presbyters of the Romish clergy... but as I said earlier, if you learn to appreciate this book on the level of the secular, speculative fictitious work that it is, you will not end up with a novel leaving you infuriated, instead something that leaves you entertained, and willing to solve the puzzles along with the book's two protagonists.
