[Quilla]

LOL!

[SlowBoat407]

Brilliant.

Read the whole thing, it gets much better toward the bottom. Our albino friend suggests a "next hit book" topic for Mr. Brown.

I just started reading the Da Vinci Code because I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about

So far I'm not impressed with the writting

[Yo-Yo]

That might take some heat off of Salman Rushdie

I think Dan Browns book: Devils and Angels was better then the Code - near the end he justifies the Church's objections and why it (church) does what it does as we seem to be diving headlong into technology and a modern life that seems not to hold much value in our fellow man or society in general.

Being a Christian, I am neither afraid of the book or the movie and Devils and Angels can and does an excellent job of justifying the Catholic churches role of trying to keep us sane in what seems to be an insane world.

Many people today put their world view based on a historical event then justify everything from that point never caring or thinking, what happened just before that event happened.

The book and the movie are fiction - the sad part is that in the modern world with all the technology available to the millions of people in the world, we have not seemed to become any smarter then those that could not read or write 6,000 years ago.

I read it about a year ago. Truthfully, it made so little an impression, I couldn't remember who Brown revealed as the descendants of Magdalene and Jesus. I pulled it out this morning to refresh my memory.

[muawiyah]

I read it. At the same time I recall all too well the document known as "Dagobert's Revenge" magazine. It has a gazillion such tales, and with references, a googlezillion.

Just checked the net to see if the stuff was still there.

It is!

[RedStateRocker]

Read 'Holy Blood Holy Grail' some years ago. About as insipid as most books on the subject.
You either have Christ in your heart or you don't. Anything anyone else says or does does not matter.

[Mo1]

Truthfully, it made so little an impression,

Sooooooooo basically you are saying what I'm reading won't get any better *L*

[Quilla]

Yep, I've gotten more enjoyment from the vitriol found in most immigration threads. ;-)

[GarySpFc]

Ping - Dan Brown

[jackv]

I have Devils and Angels but haven't read it yet because I was rather turned off by D. Code. What is it about?

[HEY4QDEMS]

and those who knew better, or had read The Da Vinci Hoax, protested loudly

I read the book, I know better, I didn't protest loudly.

IMO the only people who are protesting loudly are the hysterical and the usual suspects that are never happy unless they have something to bitch about.


BTW I would have no problem writing the truth about how evil Mohamad is.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Isn't it called "Angels and Demons"??

[Antoninus]

An excellent exposure of guys like Dan Brown for the cowards they are. They attack Christians with impunity but never utter a word about Islam. Why? Because Christians turn the other cheek, and Muslims cut off the other head.

Its Angels and demons. From amazon.com (review)

Dan Brown's Angels and Demons is a fast-paced detective drama that combines science, art, religion, and murder.

Harvard symbology professor Robert Langdon is the protagonist who finds himself at a Swiss nuclear research facility. It seems a scientist has been murdered and the infamous Illuminati society is somehow involved. Some antimatter has been taken, and Langdon joins the scientist's daughter, Vittoria, on a mad dash through some of Rome's most famous landmarks, in an effort to find it before the Vatican is leveled.

The plot of Angels and Demons and found much of middle section wonderfully absorbing and tense, as Robert and Vittoria decipher ancient clues and race from place to place in Rome, fast on the heels of a murderer. The beginning of the book, which discusses antimatter, was slow-going for me and the conclusion is way over the top in terms of realism. The timeline was a major stumbling block: Being able to travel great distances across Rome in minutes (even seconds) took away some credibility for me.

In spite of the weaknesses, Angels and Demons is very exciting and at times, even spine-tingling. If you have been to Rome, you will enjoy revisiting the city in this book. You'll also learn about the inner workings of the Vatican, and about the Illuminati, which I found fascinating.
