EiZ Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 anyone read the book THE DA VINCI CODE? its a crazy good book, very interesting, and i couldn't put it down... some very weird stuff to think about. Dan Brown the author wrote the book well and made u keep thinking what will happen and it has a very weird twist at the end. im starting to read another book by the same author called Angels and Demons. if u didnt read it...... read it!

1988 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yes...It was very good...Hard to put down as well. I've read Angels & Demons also, pretty much on the same story line. I didnt really like the ending of The Da Vinci Code but nonetheless it was Grade A...Has anyone done the online thingy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I liked Angels & Demons more, mainly cause the whole thing was so much more preposterous (don't worry, you'll notice when you get there). Both are great 2-afternoon reads, since they're so well-paced. They're already doing movie deals supposedly, which scares me cause this book doesn't translate well to film and can get shat on (as has happened to a lot of Michael Crichton novels).

CIPHER_one Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Mams I know Ron Howard's doing Da Vinci code. I'd bet on Rachel Weisz being the female lead. And Maybe Russel Crowe as Rob Langdon...or someone similar. I think it will translate very well. I actually think these types of books are the easiest to put onto film.

aoneske Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 here are 2 more books that Dan Brown has published: 1. Digital fortress 2. Deception Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Haha, yeah Iquit. But I tend to enjoy books with ridiculous plots (which is why Clive Cussler is my favorite paperback author). Haven't yet read Deception Point or Digital Fortress. Cipher, I do believe Russell Crowe is being courted to play Langdon. I don't think it's a bad choice at all, but I imagined someone less "hunky". My choice would be Liam Neeson. Rachel Weisz is dead-on though, that would be my choice as well. I feel the book has too much intricate attention to detail and startling suggestions, which the reader can sit back and ponder on before continuing to read, that a movie simply can't allow in 2 hours. The whole impact will be diminished by the rhythm (which is probably gonna be pumped-up with required "action" scenes... the book offers few and not all that great), not to mention that everyone and their mothers have heard what the surprises in the book are about. Without those surprises and the carefully outlined research, the book would be just another trail-of-clues novel. Likewise, the movie will be another trail-of-clues flick.

What's funny is when I read 'rediculous plots' Cussler is the first author I thought of. Quoted post Dude, if you dig ridiculous storytelling, you HAVE to read Matthew Riley's stuff. Probably the most fun books I've read in quite a long time... his hero character, a Marine called Scarecrow, makes Dirk Pitt look like Sally Field. Pick up "Ice Station" and "Area 7" when you have a chance. For an idea of what it's like, I'll tell you this... in "Area 7", the guy manages to hijack a space shuttle in outer space, returns it to Earth, blows it up, then fights a convicted serial killer and tosses him into a pit full of hungry Komodo dragons, ALL WITHIN A ONE-HOUR TIMEFRAME. In "Ice Station", he blows up a nuclear submarine with a grappling hook. I'm telling you, they can't be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAustin Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I read Angels and Demons after the DaVinci Code. It seems like Brown is very formulaic in his writing...so I didn't really like A & D as well. definitely some recockulous aspects to both books.
