Title: A stupid, silly, overhyped book -- see the movie instead!
Product review: At first, I was proud that I was not among the 25 million or so people who have allegedly read this book. But since I am an art history buff, and I like Ron Howard's films (and his film version of the book will be coming out later this year), I thought I would give it a shot.You have to hate a book where you figure out the riddles pages and pages before the main characters do. And I am certainly not a cryptographer, a symbologist, holy grail expert, or genius. It's simply that these riddles were written to fool the lowest common denominator. It barely held my interest and I almost did not finish it.Save your money on the book and go see the movie instead. I suspect it will be far better because of the excellent cast and director. It will also probably be shot in a way that does not make the riddles seem so obvious.
