If you liked the DiVinci Code, you will love this book. It has a similar plot structure, but we are dealing with government secrets not religious ones. The heroes are likable, and of course romance is involved. Like Code, it can be hard at times to tell what is real and fake, but still a great read!

Not as good a read as DaVinci Code or Angels & Demons. Still and all, a good read and some good twists and turns. Don't pass it up!

Not as well-known as the Davinci Code, by the same author, but equally exciting, here's a great read.

Really excellent... Brown has the ability to make you think this is absolutly true and possible... as he has done in his other books.

Not nearly as good as the Davinci Code, but a fun read.
