I remember reading it for the first time a year or so ago and liking it. I thought it was an interesting story.

And then, about a month ago, I picked it up again right after reading The Rule of Four, which everyone had said was better than The Da Vinci Code. But since I couldn't remember damn near anything about it except the thing that has the Church in an uproar, and since the movie was coming out anyway, I figured I'd read it again to compare.

I couldn't get past the first page. I literally looked at it in disbelief and racked my brain trying to remember how I'd been able to get through it before. WTF!
