What planet are you on?! With all the hype about the bestseller, and a major hollywood motion picture you have no clue what it's about!?

Answer 3

In Short.
Jesus was aparently married to Mary Magdeline and they had a child and their are now living decendants of Jesus. The Catholic Church tried covering it up so that the bible isnt a lie. The story is basically going throuh how it can be true. Its fiction but could be real. The film is really good I thought

Answer 4

It is mostly about making millions of dollars by creating a book about a subject which has been written about by many other authors. Dan Brown was the author who came along at the right time with the right formula to produce this golden egg. It has not been taken seriously by one literary critic. But the public have gobbled it up, in its millions. It is the adult "Harry Potter".

With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history.
A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu's grandfather's murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England, and history itself. Brown (Angels and Demons) has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought. --Jeremy Pugh

From Publishers Weekly
Brown's latest thriller (after Angels and Demons)is an exhaustively researched page-turner about secret religious societies, ancient coverups and savage vengeance. The action kicks off in modern-day Paris with the murder of the Louvre's chief curator, whose body is found laid out in symbolic repose at the foot of the Mona Lisa. Seizing control of the case are Sophie Neveu, a lovely French police cryptologist, and Harvard symbol expert Robert Langdon, reprising his role from Brown's last book. The two find several puzzling codes at the murder scene, all of which form a treasure map to the fabled Holy Grail. As their search moves from France to England, Neveu and Langdon are confounded by two mysterious groups-the legendary Priory of Sion, a nearly 1,000-year-old secret society whose members have included Botticelli and Isaac Newton, and the conservative Catholic organization Opus Dei. Both have their own reasons for wanting to ensure that the Grail isn't found. Brown sometimes ladles out too much religious history at the expense of pacing, and Langdon is a hero in desperate need of more chutzpah. Still, Brown has assembled a whopper of a plot that will please both conspiracy buffs and thriller addicts.

Answer 6

Basically about the bible not being strictly true. That Jesus actually married Mary Magdalen and that they had a child, Sarah. This blood line is still going strong in France, but is kept secret as the church don't want this leaked out. It was made out that Mary Magdalen was a prostitute because in fact Jesus wanted her to carry on his work and the church didn't want a woman ruling it. So they blackened her name.

Answer 7

The Holy Grail and suggesting that Jesus and Mary Magdeline were lovers, something people have been whispering for centuries. A fab film, just as good as the book and if they could do that with another of Dan Brown's books, 'Angels & Demons' I would be happy. x

Answer 8

Imaginative literature. Fiction. Not denegrating the novel but it's a good read, do not take it too seriously, or dinosaurs will be roaming in Jurassic Park, Check out "In the Name of the Rose". umberto Eco, crossing the line between art/fiction.
