da vinci code...

what do you thing about this book...do you thing that its informations are true?

[P.O.U.M]

I highly doubt they are. The book is an interesting read in some respects. My mother got me the book, it had pictures of all the places and art that was referenced in the book. It was a nice little course on art history. But anything more than that, eh. It's all speculation. The Priory of Scion was supposed to be proven a hoax in the 70's, I think. Also certain locations that lead Mr. Langdon to find the Grail at the end of the story don't link up. The Rose Line never meets up with the location of the grail at the museum. Which makes me wonder. What else did the other move to make the story more fitting.

Here's another thread on the book, that I started (Oh my hell from 4 years ago):

I loved that book when I was 10 years old. It's fun for broad masses, but nothing smart. Theories are stolen from Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln.

I read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown years after its initial release, so my reaction is probably different than those who discovered it before the hype. To them, perhaps, the ideas were novel and the story exciting. For me, however, the story was so similar to Brown's Angel's and Demons that I found it predictable and was able to guess some of the twists early on. As a thriller, it definitely kept me reading at points, but I never got as lost in the story as I would have liked. I would only rate the mystery as O.K. and the ending as somewhat disappointing.
