Thanks to a thoughtful present from Dima, I'm now joining the progressive ranks of my contemporaries who have read "The Da Vinci Code". I'm listening to an abridged version on the CDs and I am about half way through.

Oh, I think when I read this book I was picturing Jean Reno in the role of Capt. Bezu Fache! I am liking this cast so far, even though I know many people don't think Hanks is right for the part. I love Hanks, I think he's perfect.

Brrrr. I didn't like that book at all. For so many reasons - style, language, most importantly - plot. Yeah, it's easy reading, hard to put it down kind of book... But still I felt it was a waste of my time.

i completely agree with you, except for the historical/anti-religious twist. that was just pleasant to read...in the hopes that more and more people will read it..bestseller afterall. :-)

style is just pathetic. i was truly disappointed that he couldn't get better editors to improve his language.

ahm, who will be playing Teabing? They didn't recruit that actor, yet.

as for Hanks...to act in a cheap adventure flick is a step down for him. that role is for Richard Gere and the like.

Yeah, Tautou would probably be a good Sophie, but can't say I am thrilled that Hanks will be playing Langdon, though.

I did not think anything when I first saw that Hanks is playing Langdon, but now that many of you brought it up, I have my reservations too, his look is too plain to be the one of the Harvard professor interested in iconology.
