i've read it, & i enjoyed the novel - but it is fiction for the most part. discovery has had a couple of shows on the subject - & a great deal of what Dan Brown claims to be fact has been shown to be fiction. i've enjoyed several of his books - he's a good writer, & his stories are interesting - but they are just that - fiction.

i like how people have to emphasize fiction like as if no one knew that. what else is a novel ??, lol. i was just wondering what other people thought of the book. there was a website mentioned in the book and i thought it was funny that it existed.

jennyr · Dec 2, 2005

If you want to learn more about some of the ideas in the book, read 'The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail' , which details the beliefs held by the medieval Cathars and others on whether Jesus survived the cross.

cyberkitten · Dec 2, 2005

I have read the book - there are some truths and some fiction. Read his web site - it explains much of the non fiction and there are at least 4 books on the market that explain (from their varying perspectives) it. I like the fact he gives women the place they deserve in the early Church!

i think it's because there are many people who seem to think that he's truly uncovered a great conspiracy - look at these quotes...found at Amazon
"Is what "The Da Vinci Code" proposes true? Well, the research is correct. The historical events and people explored in the book are real. But no one knows the Truth...nor will we ever, probably. I think that some things are meant to be a mystery."
"It was awesome, inspiring and inspired a desire to investigate further symbologies and other rituals taken for granted over the years."
"the book got me thinking about possibilities other than what organized religion would have us believe."
"I was not brought up in a religious house so I have always been a little skeptical when it comes to church doctrine. This is why I found this book so appealing, it gave me the readers digest version of church history and the controversy that surrounds it. It may be fiction, but it's more interesting than plain history/religion."
& i've read less cogent responses, where it's obvious the writer thinks the book is more fact than fiction. i think that's why some of us responded in the way we did. after all - if it's fiction, who's to say that the church history he presents is accurate?

I haven't read it yet, but it looks like a good book. Taken seriously I'd have to say it's heresy. I don't get too into gnosticism. I can, however, enjoy a good suspense novel. Is anyone reading "The Historian"? That one is really good!! It starts out slow, but really picks up. It would be interesting to see it made into a movie.

If you like that book you should try his other ones. Specifically Angels and Demons and I Deception Point was pretty good too. I love the way he writes, very intelligent

jessicasoosweet · Dec 2, 2005

i read angels and demons and really liked it. everyone that i have talked to about the DA VINCI CODE says it is a great book. so i might just read it soon

People who like to read and discuss and recommend books are welcome to come on the thread Cat Mysteries and add their comments.

ryn · Dec 3, 2005

I read it about a year ago and don't really get why everyone is so in love with the book. I mean, it's OK but not great, the language is IMHO rather clumsy. Fairly entertaining, I suppose, but not worth all the praise.

jenni · Dec 3, 2005

I'm reading that at the mo and thoroughly enjoying it, the film is out soon i think and Tom Hanks is playing the part of Robert Langdon, should be a great film with Tom Hanks in it.

lizch6699 · Dec 3, 2005

I'm glad to hear there's a movie coming out, I didn't realize that before. On the other hand I'm not sure if I like the idea of Tom Hanks playing Robert Langdon lol. I just keep thinking, forest gump!

hopehacker · Dec 3, 2005

What is this book about? I've heard about it. I've never seen the book in stores. Without giving away the story, can someone tell me what it's about.

was Angels and Demons the one with the brands? if so, i liked it.

krazy kat2 · Dec 5, 2005

Yes, Angels and Demons was the one with the brands.
Hope, The Da Vinci Code is about the beliefs that some people have about the years of Jesus's life not mentioned in the Bible, and if he left a family to carry on the bloodline. Holy Blood, Holy Grail is much of the same information, but in more of a textbook form. I have not yet read The DaVinci Code, but I have read Angels and Demons, that introduces the character of Dan Brown, a religious anthropologist. It was an excellent read, especially if you have any bit of interest in religious intrigue, the mysteries of the Vatican, and the legend of the Illuminati. I read it in 2 days, just could not put it down.
