As soon as I saw the strange text on page 298, I headed STRAIGHT for a mirror Langdon and Teabing are thinking too hard.

After coming to terms with my oblivion of the

Spoiler

Fibonacci numbers

and the hidden message in

Spoiler

"O, Draconian devil! Oh, lame saint!,"

I redeemed myself.

Spoiler

Considering the message's text, I'm guessing that the magic letters are S-O-P-H-I-E.

Why not? It even rhymes with the message.

I just finished chapter 46 I guess I better not read the highlighted text....

I just finished the book right now, and I'm a bit confused...

Spoiler

What painting or whatever is the book referring to? Botticelli, Da Vinci... It says he's kneeling before her bones/corpse, yet I don't know what it's referring to.

Are you talking about the very end?

He kneeled before the Pyramids, not painting.

Yeah, I just figured that out after re-reading it. This is why you shouldn't read the end of a book at 2am. I'd read;

Spoiler

Raising his eyes again in the Louvre, he sensed the huge wings of the museum enveloping him . . . hallways that burgeoned with the world's finest art.

Da Vinci . . . Botticello . . .

As the book telling me that;

Spoiler

The answer was in Da Vinci's "Botticello". I don't have the strongest grasp on art, so it don't strike me that Botticello was one of the artists in the wing, and not the name of one of Da Vinci's (now) inconsequential paintings.

And while I agree that it does drag in the last quarter, I agree that it is a great read.

I finished the book at work (when I COULD have been taking a nap. ).

I'm confused.

Spoiler

What about the sacred documents that were supposed to put an end to the Church's facade??

 

[Smiles and Cries]

can someone clue me in on what is so special about this book?

I have been away for a long time, I heard about it a while ago but never got the details

 

[Manders]

My friend just read it and won't shut up about it. She loaned me the book and I'm actually staring at it now.

I think I'm just going to wait for the movie.

Yeah, but unless Jacques was misleading Langdon and Sophie from the get-go, they had sufficiently gathered enough clues to uncover the location of the documents. They apparently never got to them. Unless they are buried in Mary Magdalene's tomb along with her remains.

Sophie and Langdon, I assume, have been entrusted with the secret(s) now. THEY are now the possessors of the documents, but they never talked about it at the end.

What gives?
