The Da Vinci Code Enjoyed and Re-loaded
It's a great book. Un-put-downable, and written with the big screen in mind, and that screen will be on your mind on every page. It is in effect, the book version of the movie-to-be. Whether you are interested in theology or...

Truth and Fiction in The Da Vinci Code
Why do we care if this mystery novel got it’s facts right? It’s an incredibly exciting and well written mystery as Ehrman puts it! The problem; Brown asserts that the basis of the entire novel is factual.

The Da Vinci Code Banned
I must be one of the few people yet to read The Da Vinci Code. So, it is perhaps strange that I should be found pontificating about it. But since when have the facts got in the way of a...

The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
The Internet has been a fantastic boon for conspiracy theorists. Let's face it, everybody has suspicions that the world you see, the history that you inhabit, is not what it seems to be on the surface at first glance....

I love da Vinci, but I hate his code.

#6 — June 12, 2006 @ 14:47PM — Dancinpup [URL]

HUH?????? now you change your mind, mark saleski[what made you change your mind]. and duane, if you love da vinci but hate his code could explain that a little better. write back both of you.

#7 — June 13, 2006 @ 11:52AM — Dancinpup [URL]

YOU GUYS ITS BEEN A DAY ALREADY AND YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED BACK.

#8 — June 13, 2006 @ 12:11PM — gonzo marx

Dancinpup..have you read the book or seen the movie yourself?

and a bit of a clue for you, yelling is not a good way to gain interaction or response...rather thoughtful expression of your viewpoint is more likely to be read and talked with than petulant, all caps demands

just trying to help

Excelsior?

i love the da vinci code. i haven't seen gonzo marx.

#10 — June 13, 2006 @ 14:25PM — duane

Gonzo speaks wisely Dancinpup. Heed his words.

Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. It's only a movie.

#11 — June 13, 2006 @ 16:41PM — Dancinpup [URL]

whatever!

#12 — June 13, 2006 @ 16:42PM — Mark Saleski [URL]

#13 — June 13, 2006 @ 16:44PM — Dancinpup [URL]

make up your mind!

#14 — June 13, 2006 @ 16:46PM — Mark Saleski [URL]

i can't. i'm a godless liberal.

#15 — June 13, 2006 @ 16:48PM — gonzo marx

Dancinpup..still i ask, have you seen the film or read the book?

Excelsior?

#16 — June 13, 2006 @ 16:48PM — Dancinpup [URL]

o.....kay?

#17 — June 13, 2006 @ 16:57PM — duane

I read the da Vinci Code but didn't understand it. Something about a museum and some old guy vacationing in Paris. I would rather vacation where they have the common courtesy to speak English. So I thought the book sucked eggs. Paris is really expensive and full of obknock ... obnoc ... obbnoctius .. umm ... rude tourists. Now, excuse me. I have to go find the schedule for the local theater to see when The Omen is playing. I think they go to Italy, a much better vaction spot. Although they don't speak English for some reason.

#18 — June 13, 2006 @ 17:00PM — gonzo marx

duane...stop...plz....OMG!

i call you killer , cuz ya slay me!

Excelsior?

#19 — June 13, 2006 @ 17:10PM — Dancinpup [URL]

I haven't seen or read the book but my mom said it is all junk

#20 — June 13, 2006 @ 21:47PM — gonzo marx

Dancinpup...did she read the book?

my point here is...unless you have read it, it is very difficult to take your opinion on it seriously...

that would be like someone who has never even seen a car talk about the difficulty of Le Mans racing and critique the Gran Prix

just sharing...

Excelsior?

#21 — June 13, 2006 @ 21:56PM — Steve

I saw the movie, and now am thankful I never got the book. If the movie is anything like the book, all I can say is, it's VERY overrated. I would give the movie...55%.

#22 — June 13, 2006 @ 22:02PM — gonzo marx

for the Record, i have only read the book, will wait for the movie to come on cable...and Thought the book, formulaic and a bit shallow in character development...

if you are interested in a thesis quality work on the source material...try Holy Blood, Holy Grail , which is more fo an indexed dissertation putting out a few theories based on documented facts found, sprinkled with well marked conjecture and speculations amidst the documented information

in other words..."DaVinci Code" halfway decent beach read, or long plane ride...."HB,HG" informative treatise, denser reading if your will..but much more compelling and thought provoking...
