Off topic buddy. I'm also interested to hear how it was though.

Wrong forum.... it comes out next Friday. I'm sure the book will be better than the movie.

i figured it was the wrong forum but i couldnt find any movie forum. maybe tv wouldve been better.

No joke, people NEED to read the book. I got it like 2 months ago so I would finish it before the movie came out.

I have never been a big reader, I hate reading, but the chapters are like 2-3 pages, so its a lot of fun and you feel accomplished after finish a chapter.

I just kept it near the john and read it when I was taking care of business.

Just when you think the book cant get any better....it does.

I love movies but I would rate this book higher than 99% of the movies out there

All of Dan Brown's books are fast paced. I feel like I'm watching a movie when I read them. I read The DaVinci Code first, then I just finished Angels & Demons, and I'm about halfway through Digital Fortress. I already have Deception Point for when I finish Digital Fortress. All of his books would make great movies. I saw Harrison Ford being a better Robert Langdon than Tom Hanks though.

I've heard Angels and Demons is better than The DaVinci Code. Do you agree?

ive only read angels and deamons and it was awesome! best book ive ever read....not that ive read many. Im gonna start the da vinci code one of these days. But i have heard that angels and deamons is better aswell. I think the da vinci code is more appealing on a commercial level.

I'm assuming by your handle your a fan of X-men. What did you think of the movies? Compared to the other comic book made movies out there I thought the X-men were pretty solid. Third one looks good too.

I'm going to be that little dissenting voice that says that the book is way overrated (and full of factual inaccuracies, if we want to have that debate) and that the movie is probably going to be worse.

And I'm not even religious; I just hate Dan Brown's writing style. I guess I can see why it's so popular, but I couldn't stand it.

Yes, but they're both good.

I thought the movie was great, but I have to say that my whole movie going experience got a little tarnished when my time machine overheated on the way home.

yeah, this is just the type of guy that Code the book appeals to. The never reader. Anyone who actually enjoys reading, has an attention span longer than 2-3 pages, and doesn't enjoy inintentional comedy. This book is the worst book I've read in about 5 years, since I read "left behind" the book. If you like Grisham, by this book. Otherwise, run screaming from any Code displays at your bookstore.

I actually thought that they were very similar. One thing that I disliked about both books is that they lead up to one conclusion for the entire book, then in the last 10 or so chapters, there are about 10 plot twists crammed in right at the end. Don't get me wrong, I like plot twists, but it just seems that Dan Brown tries to cram too many of them right before the book ends.

To all the high-and-mighty-readers that think that Dan Brown caters to the non-reader, what is so wrong with his writing style? He spends the first few chapters on character development, then sets up several plot lines. The reasons the chapters are so short is that he tries to juggle all of the plot lines so that the reader doesn't lose interest in any of them. If you read ever 3rd or 4th chapter, you could follow one plot line from beginning to end, but I like the plot switching. Like I said before, his books read like you are watching a movie.
