Yes, I know its fiction, poor fiction at that, but I personally think it belongs in the 'trash can' for tomorrow trash pick-up....

Have you read the book?

I've read the book. And
I expected to like it,
since I had enjoyed

the books that Brown used
as background material.
But I found Brown's book

not only just dull,
but, ultimately, kind of
gutless since the end

doesn't really say
what was really going on,
just lets readers guess.

I was never interested in it, but now with all these bannings I think I might. Im looking forward to seeing the movie too. I think all this controversy does is help sell the movie, and more books. Im sure the producers cant stop smiling about all this free publicity.

I know an outstanding member of the US Catholic Church who read the book and called it boring.

I had sent him a SATIRE email called The Smell Dogs Really Love: The Da Vinci Cr@p

It is a take off on changing the word "code" with a smelly word that also begins with C. In this case the word is analogous to horse manure, dog manure, buffalo chips, cow pies, bird do-do, etc.

I have tried to do it in a tasteful way (pardon the bun) and place a stigma on those reading the book or seeing the movie (you spent $15 to see a bunch of horse manure/dog cr@p/bird do-do...)

After this is all about a BROWN book and a BROWN movie.

Why not call it a piece of cr$p.
