[Miss Marple]

The problem that I see with this book (I am not a Catholic nor have I read the book) is that too many people are treating a pice of fiction as though it was true.

[kevin fortuna]

agreed. and this will make more people read it. one interesting question, though, is whether or not there would be some huge outcry if the book were debunking a religion other than catholicism... don't know the answer but thought it was a fair, provocative question

Exactly.

[TontoKowalski]

Right as always, Miss Marple. I read the book (before I realized it was such a wild sensation) because I had enjoyed Brown's other novels.

It was an entertaining read, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would have believed it to be true.

As I said, I enjoyed the book, but it was then traded off to the used book store. It certainly didn't qualify as a "keeper."

[spetznaz]

Exactly!

I just cannot comprehend how a work of fiction can cause such a wildfire! Goodness, it is only fiction! Yet the cacophony of excitement surrounding this book is just insane!
