Amazing how many people here just don’t get that.
It’s fiction, and that it starts with the word “FACT” doesn’t make it not fiction. Heck, seems a great way to promote fiction sales is to - in the context of the fiction - call it fact.
FWIW: I liked “The DaVinci Code”. It was an entertaining portrayal of vast complex ancient conspiracies, which always makes for entertaining FICTION. From the previews, I look forward to “Angels & Demons” - again, as entertaining FICTION.
garbage in...garbage out...
May I suggest you spend those two hours reading a Bible.
just a thought...your time, your money.
And so when Opie says it's fiction in the context of fiction, he means it's fact.
The mind reels.
Brown was NOT playing your game - he believes and promotes his books as containing facts - those listed in the "fiction" book as facts. Which he, by the way, stole from another book which also claimed them as facts - a non-fiction book.

Funny. Just this week I had a discussion with a co-worker who said they couldn’t take _Atlas Shrugged_ seriously because it was just an entertaining fiction. They read the book, they enjoyed the characters and situations in a sci-fi kind of way, but saw no more in the book. It was just an entertaining fiction.
