Anybody falling for that 'The Da Vinci Code ' nonesense?

[WaldoMcFroog]

Sorry, but it *is* a real book - I've seen it on the shelves.

What do you mean?

"Does anyone believe the central conjecture of the Da Vinci Code about Jesus line having continued into the present day?"
Yes. It's a long established theory that some people believe.

"Does anyone believe Opus Dei are really that evil?"
Yes - some people think it is a mind control cult. Others disagree.

"Why are people reading the Da Vinci Code; it's really badly written?"
Because, despite all that, it's a cracking holiday read. Anyway, it's not especially noteworthily bad - Jeffery Archer's ten times worse. The only people getting upset are those who seem to think it was trying to be something else.

Its been on before, and as Waldo says, it is a good read, but its written in the style of a ten year old child, and regardless of whatever result the courts come up with, its blatently obvious he's pinched the story, but then again, its a novel, so really, no-one should be believing it.

[Se7en]

I am the said holy grail so be careful of your words.

[CompNut]

Se7en, O M G. Should we genuflect now -?

[WaldoMcFroog]

The whole thing about him pinching the story is tosh, isn't it? If, as the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail maintain, the story they uncovered is true and not fiction, what grounds have they got to stop someone using it as the background to their fiction?

'Hey, you're using real events as the backdrop to fiction!'

Whatever next!

[Octavius]

nope

[Whickerman]

The Holy Blood and Holy Grail is an ok read - but the Hiram Key is mindblowing. Another good one is Bloodline of the Holy Grail - all three predate the davinci code.

[sithlord]

It's a good read, but it is a load of b-----ks. Pulp fiction?

[Se7en]

What is the "Key of Solomon " - the rumoured title of his new book.

[Lonnie]

As various other books have been mentioned, try the 'Jesus Scrolls', thats a good read.

[Octavius]

The Key of Solomon is a book of spells written in the middle ages which contains conjurations and invocations to summon spirits of the dead and spirits from Hell.

You can't make it up. Can you....?

[bluejonjo]

Is it any different that you dismiss this book as a load of rubbish as I do the Bible?
