review: the da vinci code

It's easy to dismiss this book as "Foucault's Pendulum" for dummies, but despite what i consider a boilerplate thriller plot and predictable turns and twists, it's still entertaining because of all the wacky facts about Templars, da Vinci, and the Louvre. On a scale of:

1 - Buy the hardcover
2 - Wait for the paperback
3 - Find the paperback used
4 - Borrow it from the library
5 - Don't bother
6 - Burn the book

... i give it a 4.
