It is no secret that I have read 'The Da Vinci Code' several times. I genuinely believe that 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Angels And Demons' are, by far, Brown's best works.

Ashwin Sanghi

The best book I read this year was 'The Da Vinci Code.'

Goran Ivanisevic

When books come out on religion today, what are they about, well, Noah's Ark or when we go to heaven, does our body or soul go to heaven? What was the name of the book? The Da Vinci Code. Who is seated at the last supper? Well, as brilliant as Da Vinci was, he didn't know anymore about who was seated at the last super if there ever was a last super than you or I or Yogi Berra. Well, no one is bringing anything new to the table.

Vincent Bugliosi

I'm not really a sequel guy. I did 'Angels & Demons' after 'The Da Vinci Code,' because I like working with Hanks, and I felt it was a really different sort of world that we were visiting. That was, of itself, interesting.

Ron Howard

'The Da Vinci Code' is the most popular book of our times.

Ian Mckellen

I don't think many people will re-read 'The Da Vinci Code.'

'The Da Vinci Code' and films of that nature are the ones that I really enjoy because you are learning and working out riddles as you go along.

Perdita Weeks

'The Da Vinci Code' was pretty awful. A good idea disappointingly handled.

Ruth Rendell

The term "godawful" should be used sparingly in connection with motion pictures. With Angels & Demons, however, it seems oddly appropriate. Not only does this prequel-turned-sequel to The Da Vinci Code make its predecessor seem like a masterwork of pacing and plotting, but it may represent a nadir for director Ron Howard and is probably the worst instance of acting from star Tom Hanks since back in the days when he was struggling out from under the shadow of Bosom Buddies.

James Berardinelli

I was so hooked to 'The Da Vinci Code' that I jumped out of bed at 2 A. M., and could only go back to sleep after I'd finished the final few chapters.

P. R. Sreejesh

Carter Hall is a cross between Indiana Jones and Robert Langdon from 'Da Vinci Code' and 'Angels and Demons.'

Rob Liefeld

I really enjoyed reading 'The Da Vinci Code,' but from a literary standpoint, the book did not live up to the hype.

Cecilia Dart-Thornton

My sincere hope is that 'The Da Vinci Code,' in addition to entertaining people, will serve as an open door to begin their own explorations.

Dan Brown

The Da Vinci Code' was a great experience and I was lucky to be chosen, but I don't like the pressure that goes with all these big things. I don't want to be any more famous at all.
