Da Vinci Code

Of course the book is fiction. And like most good fiction books it borrows some information from reality. These informations are gathered in an intelligent way but cannot be taken literally.

The grail is a very old mythos that has been described in libraries of literature (e.g. everything dealing with King Artus). However it is very unlikely that it exists in the form of the chalice that was used to collect Jesus' blood at the cross- and it is even more unlikely that it exists as a collection of secret documents proving a different role of women in the Christian church as postulated in the Da Vinci Code.

This does not make the book worse: in books it is allowed to invent whatever you want. The reason I didn't like the book too much are more in the structure of the story.

I am almost done reading the book and I L-O-V-E it. Once I am done it I plan on going out and getting others from Dan Brown. I love how he ties fact in the book with fiction.

I've read it and am absolutely obsessed with it. I don't necessarily agree with everything it says, but the proof it gives is very convincing. Have you actually gone through to check everything it says? the little mermaid scene is probably my favorite. It's just so odd all of these things are placed around. I guess im just not one to string them together. Has anyone read angels and demons? its his book before da vinci code.
