i think it was a great book. one of the best books i've read actually. some people specially devoted followers of Christianity see it just as a book of fiction and nothing else, but who knows? maybe this is something that's real. I mean there are alot of things out there that we dont know about. things that are kept away from us such as in politics and ofcores religion. I think keeping an open mind without judgement is best. If you believe in something so strongly and it ends up being the opposite, then there will be a tough time to assimilate.

Hey Aroosa,
The Da Vinci Code was a fun book to read. It had suspense, constant motion, lots of action, intriguing suspenseful puzzle solving, some facts mixed into a web of controversial fiction. I completely enjoyed it, but don't take it serious.

The book was very good and entertaining.
It is a book of fiction (to entertain, not to tell a truth)
The only true message is the entertainment aspect of it, many people think the book is true and get the message that there's this hidden truth about a direct blood line to Jesus.

How can we not give biased answers? You are either for or against the things written in the DaVinci Code...
That being said, I think it is an entertaining book, but poorly researched as far as historicity goes, Brown filled his book with historical errors (I won't even mention the theological errors).
The ultimate message was an attempt to discredit historical Christianity. It was a failure in my opinion.

It is interesting fiction. I think the ultimate message from the author is that it is unwise to trust people even if they are clergy. They are, after all, men and subject to the same frailties and biases as anyone else and will act in defense of their faith which is really just acting in their own self interest.

It's fiction. Da Vinci could pose his models in any position he wished. He was not a witness at the time of Jesus, but was born 1500 years later, so any meaning found in his painting is coinsidental.

the ultimate message of the book depends on the POV of the person reading it. ppl need to stop making a fuss over it. it's a work of fiction. that means it's not real.
that being said, it's a very good book to read, but don't take it seriously.
XD

I thought the first 10 pages or so were absolutely the most gripping bit of fiction I'd encountered in many years. Bravo!
After that, it got preachy. Brown rather annoyingly went beyond simply telling a story -- and used his book to push a theological and artistic agenda based on sloppy, sloppy research. He got all sorts of things wrong.

Walking through the mystery of Christianity... try to find the other story side of the bible... and then built a fiction story with supported by a very detail history/background... raise our imagination and our conscious about GOD... and at the end, it put itself as fact beyond fiction...

fiction is just that fiction. made up. you can base it on anything you want, but made up it still is. False logic. starting with a false premise. He assumes a painting is not what historically it has always been thought to be. To do that you need a skeptical audience. And today's society is skeptical. But that still doesnt mean he is right.
