My book club read this book two years ago. I only finished 1/3 of it before the meeting, but I went anyway. I heard many of the "secrets" revealed during the discussion, so I decided not to finish the book, figuring I "knew" what was going to happen. Now, two years later with the movie due out in a couple of weeks, I bought the mass market paperback on a whim. I felt like the last person in America who hadn't fallen in love with this book and I decided to give it one more try before seeing the movie. This time, I was struck by the Da Vinci Code lightning-- I devoured the book in a matter of days (a short time for me, the mother of a young child) and literally *could not* put it down. Isn't that the greatest feeling as a reader?!! I have read critiques of the novel-- that the characters are too one dimensional, etc.-- but now I think that is all sour grapes. BRAVO, Mr. Brown, BRAVO.
