my personal opinion is that its just for entertainment and if there was a secret tryin to hide a family line, no matter waht u tell some people or give them proof they well believe in whatever they want i liked the book i thought it was exciting but didn't have every good discriptions

Answer 2

It's no different from the Anti-Catholic book I've read like "The Divine Comedy"

The Da Vinci Code only overstresses the fact that most people already know about the Catholic church.

The truth is Hollywood is run by the Jews and the Da Vinci Code is a form of Christian-bashing. The exception is the "Passion of the Christ" which is a form of Jew-bashing and of course all the macho military movies depicting all Arabs and Muslims as fanatical terrorists as forms of Muslim-bashing.

Peace.

Answer 3

The novel is part of the exploration of alternative religious history. Its principal source book is listed as, as per the court case, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince's The Templar Revelation, as well as the books by Margaret Starbird. Holy Blood, Holy Grail (which is explicitly named, among several others, at the beginning of chapter 60), was stated by Dan Brown not to be amongst his primary research material for the book. It has been claimed that The Da Vinci Code is a romanticised version of this work, which was itself based on a series of documentaties that ran on the BBC in the 1970s, all written and/or directed by Henry Lincoln. The main similarity includes the idea that the Merovingian kings of France were descendents from the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. In reference to Richard Leigh and Michael Baigent (two of the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail), Brown named the villain of his story "Leigh Teabing" (an anagram of "Baigent Leigh"). Brown confirmed this during the court case. Arguing that Lincoln has medical problems resulting in a severe limp, like the character of Leigh Teabing, Brown stated he was unaware of Lincoln's illness and the correspondence was a coincidence. After losing before the High Court in July 12, 2006, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh appealed to the Court of Appeal[5][6].

Brown has reworked themes and characters from his own earlier novel Angels and Demons, specifically the main character, Robert Langdon.

Norwegian readers and critics noted some striking similarities between the "Da Vinci Code" and a Norwegian novel, "Sirkelens ende" ("Circle's End") by Tom Egeland, published in 2001 (two years before the Da Vinci code). Like the "Da Vinci Code", "Circle's End" involves an ancient mystery and a worldwide conspiracy, the discovery that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, and an albino as one of the central characters. In both novels, the main female character turns out to be the last living descendant of Christ and Mary Magdalene, and the daughter/granddaughter of the last grand master of a secret order. Many Norwegians speculated that Dan Brown had plagiarized Tom Egeland's book. Since the Norwegian novel had not been translated into English by the time the Da Vinci Code was written, it is generally assumed today that the similarities between the two books, although striking, are coincidental.

Answer 4

Dan Brown has interesting ideas but needs an editor like crazy. The book's allegations about the Church and the cover-up are based on pretty poor evidence. That doesn't mean that he's wrong, but he certainly didn't provide anything substantial to make his case.

Answer 5

Dan Browns' DaVinci Code is a work of Fiction but it does make you think, and that's always a good thing :-)

Answer 6

It is a good work of fiction but slightly slow in between

Answer 7

To the last poster: Because he had no case to make. It is a work of fiction, he said so himself.

Answer 8

i fell asleep during the movie and never finished the book it was boring and preachy i couldn't help rolling my eyes every time i turned the page. my honest opinion is who cares? even if i is true Jesus had descendants. i really couldn't care less.

Answer 9

It's entertaning.it's only a work of fiction so don't break your head over it.

Answer 10

its an ok movie. the book is great. its fiction. get over it.
