The sheer amount of history it tells. The universality of the message. The way it celebrates women in particular. It is easy to see why this book is Dan Brown's most famous, and best.
I will say one thing about its inferior movie adaptation: I loved Ian McKellen's performance so much that when I read about Tebing's girth it makes me do a doubletake.

I forgot how easy this book is to consume. And the best part about doing a reread is with knowing the plot progression ahead of time means the moments I zone out are less consequential to my progress, which is helpful when you have entirely too much going on to tandem read this.

Normally I wouldn't have two thrillers on the go at the same time, but I:
1. Desperately needed a calorie-free reread and this fit that bill to perfection.
2. Need to empty out my holds list in Libby
And so here I am, a self-proclaimed fantasy reader reading two thrillers (and a mystery) all at the same time.
