Okay, I have my DVC right here . . . all it has on the cover is "The Da Vinci Code," "Dan Brown," "Author of Angels & Demons," part of the Mona Lisa's face, and some script that (if I know my Tolkien, and believe y'all me, I do know my Tolkien) looks to be Elvish.

If you are looking at the script on the "torn" section of the Mona Lisa, it's merely reverse writing in a pleasant longhand. Hold it up to a mirror for legibility.

The DVC is a pleasant airport book. But it should not in any way be taken seriously. Though the author rightfully classifies it as fiction, he unforgivably cited falsehoods as fact.

For example; The so-called Priory of Sion is a huge falsehood presented as fact immediately following the second title page. This "Fact" page claims the Priory of Sion is real. The DVC is built around the Priory of Sion's existence. Yet the Priory of Sion was a latter half 20th Century hoax perpetrated by a forger. He was caught in the act and confessed to such in French court. Any cursory research would have revealed this to Dan Brown.

So, the DVC is a fun read but in no way a source of "light".

Enjoy.
