What did you want to discuss?

I've read the Da Vinci code and I thought it was pretty good. I tried reading Angels & Demons but I got bored with it although everyone keeps telling me that it's a better read.

My problem with the Da Vinci code is that it presents certain things as facts when they are not, such as with the artwork. I read the book a while back but I remember in the beginning one of the characters grabbed a painting in the museum and held it as sort of a shield, I know this is nitpicking but the painting is huge in actuality you can't just grab it and hold it like that.

As for the religious aspects, it's just a fictional story about a conspiracy in the RCC which isn't anything new.

The beginning makes statement saying that. "All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate."

Just because certain elements are accurate does not make the whole thing non-fiction. It's like calling the Shadow Hearts series non-fiction because of the seemingly accuarate portrayls of historical characters with in that series. neutral

I already stated that the book was fiction:

"it's just a fictional story about a conspiracy in the RCC which isn't anything new."

What I was commenting on was the artwork since Dan Brown made a statement that all depictions of the artwork were accurate.

Hmm, I thought The da Vinci Code was okay. I wasn't terribly impressed by it, so I did not bother with Angels & Demons. I probably won't bother with his next book, either. The only reason I know it is coming out is because it is advertised all over Borders. D=  

[Zslone2]

Didnt read the book but i saw the movies and they was good. I read some of the book but it was a pretty good moive and book. I think it has a funny ending in the Da Vinci Code.

I liked DaVinci Code well enough, but I read Angels & Demons when it first came out years ago, and always liked it better. I though it was amusing that they are now trying to play it off like A&D is a sequel (at least movie wise).

Well, mainly i wanted to discuss whether or not you guys think its possible Jesus was mortal. I think its possible.

well its advertised so much because the other books were so popular, i liked both of them though my favorite was Angels and Demons. i looked alot of it up and its very accurate despite the fact that its fiction.
