I found the book interesting enough, but not nearly as great as some seem to think it, and certainly not one to remain near the top of the best sellers list as long as it has. My impressions were similar to yours, actually. It read like Brown knew what he was talking about, but was fairly dry, and the characters weren't very well developed at all (IMHO of course).
I think the fact that it plays havoc with so many Christian beliefs (even though only in a fictional sense) made it much more popular than it may have been otherwise.
