I loved both of these books. Not just because they were thrillers, but because they brought out great points no one would have ever thought of. Such as in Da Vinci Code how supposedly Jesus married Mary Magdalene and they had children. Or in Angles & Demons how this so-called "anti-matter" was about to explode in the Vatican, and the Pope set everything up. Real great thrillers. I absolutely loved these books. Dan Brown has also written Digital Fortress and Deception Point. I still need to read those, but anyone else read these books?

I've read both Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons.. I personally wouldn't put them up with the greatest books I've read but they're not bad.. I like A&D much better than DVC.. I had DVC figured out way to soon.. That was the only problem I found in his writing was that I could figure out what the mystery was way before you were suppose to and the surprise was .. eh.. Kinda like M. Night Shamalan's new movies...

i liked angels and deamons better, but if you read one of the two, you will find the other very predictable.

I read both of them and liked the both. I'd have to give the edge to The DaVinci Code, but not by much. I just found the topic more intriguing, not necessarily it being a better story.

I loved reading the Da Vinci Code, the movie was just bad. The book is so much more enjoyable, i understood it better after re reading it though.

Does anyone here know more about Jesus and Mary Magdalena?
I'm not sure what to believe...

Umm so far as I know it's still a myth.

I forgot I made this topic.

I liked Angels and Demons more because of the action. It's like you could feel yourself in the book. Great plot too.

i agree with you, angel and demons was the better book. i found the davinci code a bit stale, but i finished it, and kinda was disappointed.

I love these books! They're thrillers, but at the same time Dan Brown adds such realistic imagery to them, whether its the locations or dates. They really make you think, and that's why they're surrounded by controversy. Such amazing novels, definitely re-reading material.
I hear Brown's releasing a new book and publishers are fighting for it because since HP is over, it is going to be the next biggest publishing event. I cannot wait. I love him, and I really want to read more by him!
