Download it as an eBook! I think Amazon has got those versions...

Why would you bother anyway? The book is one of the worst-written pieces of rubbish I've ever read. Talk about over-hyped!

Mind you, Dan Brown doesn't care, he's laughing all the way to the bank.

Most over-rated piece of trash I've ever read, honestly. Some interesting ideas in it, sure, but the characters are cardboard, the dialogue is leaden, the plot is more predictable than an episode of Three's Company, and the interesting ideas are cribbed from others. You're not missing much.

If you want something in a similar vein which will challenge you, try Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum"... or if it's too esoteric for you, go to Brown's source and read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" (can't remember the author).
