Great book as long as you recognize that it is fiction.
This is an extremely well written and researched thriller. Some complained that it was anti-catholic, but it is simply a work of fiction. You can't believe everything in it. It is not a history textbook. That having been said this is an excellent book. Not quite as good as "Angels and Demons", and not nearly as good as Dan Brown's latest "The Lost Symbol", but still a great read.

This book can go to Republican School and learn some lessons about life!
This book is based off of no fact. It teaches that everything is fact. Its like a Democrat saying that we don't have the right to bear arms. Arms is guns idiots. This book doesn't use common sense.

good but bad
My 11 year old son read it and thought it was fantastic! He said it was his fave book besides wimpy kid, the only problem was that is was a bit violent. One of the main "bad guys" wore a belt with spikes on it to feel the pain Jesus felt and was many murders and betrayal.

Totally dependent on your "maturity" level
I loved this novel! It was so incredibly well researched and I have to say it does make logical sense if you are willing to set aside the fanatic religious views and give it a chance. Really, a great book!

Wonderfully complex, but the last chapter did fall short. A mature 12 year old who is an advanced reader could handle it with no problems. Some 12 year olds could not, though. It depends on the kid in question. It's great for those 12 year olds bored with books that are their grade level. Great for adults and teenagers as well.

Its Fine!
I do not know what the big hype about this book is (concerning violence and religion issues) understand what is real and what is fiction its fine. Also, I would strongly suggest that you read it beforehand, so you can inquire about what part your child is at and open a conversation. Its also good to reinforce at every conversation that this novel is only a book, only fiction. If you're concerned with violence don't let them read it until they have seen a 14 A movie. Otherwise, Enjoy the good read!

Exciting
It kept my interest and to tell the truth, i couldn't put it down. The problem with the book is all of the Things that are wrong. Most people have heard about the controversy with the book. The people who have a problem with it have a reason to find it offending.

Brilliant
I think 15+ is a good age for this book, It may be a bit too much for younger readers to be exposed to and to understand but for advanced readers age 13+ (like myself(im 14))it is a great read. It is simply superb.

Excellent Book, but Not for Kids
The Da Vinci Code is a gripping page-turner filled with deception, intrigue, history lessons, and some fascinating puzzles. I was shocked to hear kids as young as twelve talking about reading it and its companion, Angels and Demons. While the content is appropriate for readers over the age of thirteen, the complexity of the story makes it suitable for only 16+. Wait and have your kids read it then, they will understand and appreciate it more.
