Read it and found it entertaining, just that. What really kept me hooked were the descriptions the author made of the locations, not the plot per se. It wasn't particularly enthralling. Let's say I just finished reading it because my mother had suggested it for me.

Probably the major downside for me was that I solved some of the 'mysteries' before the characters. I found the ending far from pleasing. I was kinda disappointed of reading about all the adventures for that.

As many people I'm interested in religious history, but this was a rehash of several theories I've seen before. As russkayatatu said, this is "a translation of visual media into book form."

I know it's a bestseller, and I can see why; I just don't think it's that brilliant.
