Worth a read. Well written and fairly well researched. I did enjoy the parts about the various paintings by Da Vinci and the symbolism in the paintings. Also, I thought that the albino character was particularly intriguing. I plan to visit London in the near future and hope to visit a few of the landmarks mentioned in the book.
99% entertaining - I have to say, thought, that the ending was a bit of an anti-climax. Although I'm unsure how the book could have ended!!
It's also a book that has spawned myriad books that seek to point out the errors in the book; for example, Brown states in the book that the pyramid outside the Louvre has 666 pains of glass - links to the devil!! - however, the pyramid has, in fact, 684 pains of glass, not nearly as interesting a number as 666.........
Read the book and judge for yourself.
