Another hour into the book:

Things have slowed down a bit. Sophie and Langdon have convinced Sir Leigh Teabing, a Royal British Historian, to allow them to enter his estate in the middle of the night after just escaping the Suisse vault manager.

Teabing and Langdon pour out all there knowledge of the serarch for the Holy Grail into Spohie. She also learns about the secret society more deeply; the sex ritual she observed her grandfather involved in 10 years prior.

Our buddy Silas, the Opus Dei agent responsible for all the murder thus far, has been captured by Teabing after knocking out Langdon with a blow to the noggin.

I quit reading as Langdon, Sophie, Teabing and his manservant Remy, and the now hogtied prisoner Silas, dupes the police, managing to escape Leighs estate and are now flying in his private jet to the UK.

Another hour through:

On the plane the trio decipher the code opening the cryptex, only to find another and another associated riddle. Off to the Temple Church they go, seeking an answer to the first line of the new riddle.

At the Temple Church, Langdon, Teabing and Sophie realize they are at the wrong crypt.

The treachery of Remy takes place when he frees Silas. Remy and Silas take the 2nd cryptex by force and Teabing as hostage while langdon and Sophie make their escape.

Remy drops Silas off at the Opus Dei HQ in London, where later is raided by the cops. During his escape, Silas shoots and injures his savior the Bishop.

Remy then delivers the 2nd cryptex to the teacher who murders Reme; nothing is done with Teabing at this point. The Teacher knows the crypt the Langdon/Sophie seek but do not yet know, and heads there one step ahead of them.

The duo figures out they need the tomb of Sir Isaac Newton to carry on with the riddle, and head for West Minster Abby.

Sortly after the duos arrival, the Teacher already at Newtons tomb is perplexed, and seeing the duo hides to see what he can learn from them when they get to the tomb. After all, the Teacher has the cryptex.

The final hour:

Well I really cant say much here as it will disclose the ending, and I dont want to spoil it for anybody.

This was an OK book. Nothing fancy in terms of writing, and easy enough for my 14 year old daughter to easily read.
The story is a great artists interpretation.
This book read like wathing a movie.

Now to see the movie. I wonder how it will compare.

Read Angels and Demons, it was a better book. I enjoyed it a lot more.

And the movie? A real disappointment for me. Even Audrey Toutou seemed uninterested. Shame, really. You don't see gorgeous french women who can act like her very often, and she was . . . uninspiring.

I read it and enjoyed it.

I thought it was a pretty good book, at least it had me hooked enough to want to read it, which is a lot more than I can say for some other books.

I thought the book was not worthy of the attention it received. Sure, the story was fluid enough to keep me interested but, as you say, the writing was nothing special. The movie was pretty much the same for me. It is a bit like eating popcorn: nice, satisfying but hardly a meal.
