Review of The Davinchi Code

Grasping the audience's thrill as the greatest mystery of all times is generated, Dan Brown's "The Davinchi Code", re defies religious endeavor, and sacrilegious devotion, under the emphasis on feminist and philanthropist perspectives. Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu, the protagonists who are engulfed in the development of their cliche love, journey to discover Neveu's grandfather's past, and his association to the cult of Mary Magdalen. Dealing with pagan rituals, impulsive trips to Europe, and observations of Catholic chapels, Langdon and Neveu uncover the essential need to live, as they envision the sanctified Mary Magdalen. Langdon, the self-conscious, dastardly American, is held back by his ambiguous occupations, and Neveu the emotionally driven and skeptical intellectual, discovers her self as she journeys to know someone else.

I found this book a waste of time, due to it's overly exaggerated emphasis placed in it's plot. Although, it seemed quite thrilling at one point, the closing resolution was extremely weak, which made the book unpleasant.

Why does Dan Brown write anti-biblically compelling books?

I think he just decided to do it on research as the prelude, Angels and Demons, was based on the peeps that want to combine Science and Religion. One of the other books he authored was based on the government. So its not anti-biblical books; its mainly just this one.
