I think I prefer Vittoria as well, though Sophie was ok. In truth though, at times, I felt Sophie was just there to give Langdon someone to lecture/explain to.
I agree. Sophie was only important in the begining of the story. The rest of the time she was just a character who followed Robert. Roberts explained things to her so that the reader could also understand.

As much as i love DB, i think it is hard for men to write engaging female characters that readers can relate to. Although i do think he is improving, from Susan Fletcher to Vittoria to Sophie i think each one is easier to relate to than the last

If you look, every DB book has a male and female protagonist.
I also agree with Triad that Langdon would need to explain things to someone.
In a way, Dan Brown is using the 2nd protagonist to explain things to the reader. Therefore instating he is telling the reader directly.

I agree. Sophie was there mainly as a person Langdon could explain to. Still one cannot deny that she was the female lead of the book and a really important character in it.

I thought that when I read the Da vinci code, Its a real shame there was no real mention of her in DVC, Sopie became more of a replacement :-(

yeah, i liked vittoria, she really seemed to like robert, and the way da vinci and angels and demons went, it seems like he won't really get "involved" with sophie.

I thought she was perfect, much better than Sophie. I'd love for her to be in the new book.

How could DB scrap the character!? I think that Vittoria is the woman for Langdon. Sophie seemed too innocent and asexual. I don't remember reading at any point in DVC that Robert was the least bit entised by Sophie. Vittoria on the other hand is clearly a more sophisticated character. She catches his attention right away as she steps out of the helicopter. She's sensual, exotic(dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes) and well you can't go wrong with being a yoga master. I'm sure she showed Langdon a truly "religious experience" in the end. Why wouldn't he go back for more?

Now that Dan Brown finally confessed that "Victoria Vetra" is based on a real life person named "Victoria Vetri", perhaps this might clear up the mystery between the Vetra and Langdon relationship. I think additional facts or cofessions might come out... as well as the cross links between "A&D" and "DVC"???
