I finished reading The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, last night.

The book centres on one of the greatest mysteries of humankind, a 2000 year-old conspiracy, clues to which are encoded in the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci.

I really like some of the elements of the story - especially the use of PHI. 

It will make an excellent movie! But please, not Russell Crowe as Robert Langdon!!

Read some of the reviews on Amazon

I liked it, but lots of folks dont
