Default The Da Vinci Code

just finished reading this book, it is amazing.... the best book i have read by far. The crazy thing is most of it is based on truth. Its about secret meanings hidden in da vinci's paintings, there is much more to it, but if you haven't read it i don't want to spoil it!!! check it out!

Did you just accept it as the truth, or did you investigate any of the claims made?

If you have a chance, there is a 3/4 page article in the Calgary Herald today (Saturday) that debunks a lot of what is posed as truth in book in question.

It is not all one sided of course, but it may make you want to actually do some research yourself rather than just accepting the book as gospel - pun intended.

sweet... i'll take a look at that.. although if you go to his site www.danbrown.com he says that all the information in it is true, in the sense that people do believe all these theories.

Interesting article Quinn. Probably enjoyed it more than I would the book. Reminds me of the Celestine Prophecy. Also a good read, but don't forget the grain of salt.
