The DaVinci Code - Book

[imported_LoKe]

I read the book for a second time on Friday and I'm not entirely sure of the ending. What exactly did Langdon find?

He didn't "find" anything because he didn't break into the Louve and start digging. He figured out where Mary had been burried, paid his respects, and left.

So, at the end he's at the Louvre Pyramid, and the chamber with Magdelen is below?

Yes.

Ah, I figured as much. I was hoping there'd be...something more. Thanks, guys.

*Off to start reading Angels and Demons.* I'll have more questions for you tomorrow once I've finished reading it.

I saw the movie but didn't read the book.

Didn't he kneel at it, which was supposed to show him being a templar knight? I think the honor of figuring it out was enough for him.

You should see the movie.

I liked it quite a bit, even though they skipped a lot during the "big explanation" at Teabing's house. Also, Teabing and Langdon were arguing over stuff during the conversation and I didn't see them arguing in the book at all. There's a few things that are quite obviously changed from the book, but not enough to ruin the story. Overall, good movie.

Angels and Demons is the better book, IMHO. The story is more involving, and is less cerebral. It reads like a movie script.
