Truth or Myth??
Have just finished it and am now going to plow my way through all the counter-Da Vinci books who are out to dispel Dan Brown's theory.
What do you think???

They filmed part of the movie near us and dds headmistress got to meet Tom Hanks.....that puts me within 3 degrees of separation with most of Hollywood

I loved the book on some levels. Its was a good train read and kept me occupied to work and back but it only lasted one day so it really didn't take much thgouht. Monkey Trousers your right about Focaults Pendulum - it is pretty well the saem thing but very dumbed down. I read the other Dan Brown books and was very dissapointed to find his writing is very very formulaic, much too samey for me so it did dissapoint in some ways.

Great story though - I am always a one for a good conspiracy theory. BUt I think the thing which fascinates is the fact that through this bok so many people have been introduced to the theory of Mary Magdalene and th Grail and thats really where the love of the book springs from.

terrible dialogue, not that well written. can't understand what all the fuss is about, tbh. sorry but am truly mystified.

thanks, oldiemum. at least i'm not the only one! i do understand the interest in conspiracy theories but personally, i feel paranoid enough in RL.
