The Da Vinci Cod – by Don Brine – (Book Review)
Don Brine ( Adam Roberts) is a Professor of 19th Century Literature at London University , and author of The Da Vinci Cod : billed as a “Fishy Parody” – NOT the #1 New York Times Bestseller."
On the back cover of the book there is a prominently displayed “Fishclaimer” : “ This book has not been authorized or endorsed by Dan Brown or his publishers,but it is much,much funnier.”
Here is a short quote: “But then it turned out that the Cunning Theory was Not So Cunning After All because it wasn’t true.Not even remotely.Not even a tiny bit likely.Which is where this book comes in.
Because it turns out that although Leonardo Da Vinci didn’t know anything at all about a holy bloodline extending to the present day,he knew a very great deal indeed about what cod really are,and that sinister knowledge is only now coming to light…”
In case there is any doubt , this book might be described as the perfect antidote to “The Da Vinci Code”.
The author uses (sometimes heavy-handed) humor that does more harm to “The Da Vinci Code” than all the Vatican protests or angry articles on Media religion pages could ever hope to accomplish.
It’s well worth a trip to the library or bookstore !
You don't need a grouper experts to tell you that the writer is quite eel.
Oh, to be a mouse cord...
