Laurence J. Kirshbaum, the longtime head of the Time Warner Book Group and now a literary agent, said "Jaws" in the 1970s might have been the last paperback so in demand.

Can't wait for the movie in mid-May :thumbsup

..I caved and bought a copy for the plane ride back from Phoenix. I admit.. I finished the thing in 6 hours.. I couldnt put it down. I didnt realize it would be such an easy read! One of the most enjoyable stories Ive read in a while.

I think the movie is going to be absolutely huge. The only thing that may even put any brakes on the movie is that it hasn't quite the appeal to teens as say the Lord of the Rings movies, Harry Potter or Star Wars movies.

i saw the trailer for the movie yesterday. It looks amazing. I hope its as good as the book because most movies dont come close. But this one looks like it will be.

Thats a bit of a surprise. I would have thought that the sales for the hardcover would have done so well that the paperback would have been hurt. Guess not!

Not surprising that movie has caused some issues with Vatican and bunch of other churches and ppl love things that do that. Also the book is good I hope the movie will be just as good. Oh and Paper back is much cheaper lol and I guess ppl like cheap.

ya no doubt its gonna be huge... the book is almost written as a screenplay..

I agree it will be huge

I haven't read it, have you?

If half the world likes something, it generally is safe to assume that it's easy.

Was an interesting book, I hadn't paid any attention to the hype and didn't know what it was about but it was well written.

I liked the book....isn't the movie about to be released? I will be interested in seeing if it stays true to the book...

I like the book very much. It's one of the once-started-can't-stop-until-finished.

Hopefully Hollywood doesn't go and Fuck this one up.

I picked up the book the other day at Sams.
Haven't opened it yet though, it's sitting in a stack of other books I've yet to read. Good to hear I didn't waste my $$ on this one.

You know what, I haven't read it yet... definitly gonna buy it

Took me 1 day to read the whole book, once I opened it I couldn't stop. It's the second greatest book ever written. What was the first? His prequel, Angels and Demons. I personally think that was THE best....Dan Brown must be smoking somethng.

it was my 1st time to read his book and i was instantly addicted. done reading all 4 books. should be among the BIG blockbusters of the year. Mark my word.

:smokin

the book was a very nice read , i recomend it to everyone who is into reading , other book rock too , especialy "Angels and Demons" , i hope the movie will be awesome too

Release date, May 19, 2006

I just hope the movie can live up to the expectations

directed by ron howard, who did "Cinderella Man" and "A Beautiful Mind", so you know you're getting a top notch director.

This movie will make big. There's no doubt about it.

We'll see. Hollywood has certainly done it's share of fucking up.....there are some books which simply do not translate well to screen.....Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes to mind.

love this book so much! it is best read while viewing dan brown's website for the pictures and other facts. just got myself a copy of the illustrated edition.

i've looked at wordtracker and saw that people are actually looking for
"the da vinci code" LOL! :1orglaugh

this movie will catch fire in may :thumbsup
