The DaVinci Code (54)

The DaVinci Code
Dan Brown

Wow... another great book by Dan Brown. I now understand what all the hype was about... I also see why the Catholics are all up in arms - lol.. But it is important to remember this is FICTION :) He weaves just enough fact to make people start believing... just like any good conspiracy theory should - lol.
I found this book extremely entertaining, and well written! I almost think I liked Angels and Demons better but both were excellent! One of the interesting thing is he talks a lot about art and historic churches and sites.. it is interesting to look these (real) places and art up to look at it. No it doesnt reveal secret information, but it is interesting! To show how popular the book is, I looked up the Mona Lisa which is mentioned in the book. The Lourve on their website actually address some of the claims made in his book, as they say they get a LOT of questions about it now. People come to see the painting for the connection to the book.
And I suppose anything that gets people interested in arts isn't all bad :)
