Has anyone read that yet? if not i suggest you do, its an awesome thriller with a lot of twists and turns.
Dan Brown (the author) has written a magnificent book here. when i first heard of it and found out it was mainly about religion and classic art/artists i wasnt interested, but was soon stuck in...
i suggest this book to anyone, but anyone deeply religiouse may find it offensive... but its still a good book!

you read it? then what ya think??

Great book, the thing is that his other books are just as good, if not better. This just gets spotlight as its about Religion

you're catholic gimpy?
I've heard it was offending for some catholics, lot of twisted facts, giving them a bad reputation and tackeling the whole religion...
I've read it, but it wasn't as good as I expected...

Being offended by a book like this is imo crazy.

The characters are fictional, the 'facts' are inconclusive, just like all religious 'facts'.

well what do you think of the facs in the book, yes the characters are fictional... but all the facts are apparently not...
i found them all fascinating, and would like to look into what has been said...
whats your oppinion on them?

The "facts" in that book are falcities and fabrications, sure it was interesting twists in a fictional story or novel, but to portray them as being true is insulting.

And who ever asked if I was Catholic....mostly yes. :P

All his books are great...except deception point...that was crap.
As someone once said(I can't remember who!):
"History is written by the victorious"
also:
"History is but a myth agreed upon"

"History is but a myth agreed upon"

Fairly certain world war 2 veterans know the past is real...not fictional stories and fables.
