Thanks relic and others....

Here is another comprehensive review and critique by J. P. Holding of The DaVinci Code

Concluding remarks:

Brown is not the first to propose that Christianity is a vast conspiracy by the Vatican and/or others to hoodwink the world about the true Jesus. He will not be the last. What is surprising is not that he would boldly label “FACT†what has been so totally refuted by the evidence. What is surprising is that our culture is so ill-equipped so as not to be able to discern fact from fiction, misinformed about Christianity, woefully ignorant of history, and clueless about the Bible – its origin, composition, preservation, and translation. This novel is based on such flimsy fabrication that if it used any other setting – an ethnic neighborhood, a police investigation, an environmental conservation movement, for example – no one would be able to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the story. That millions of people are not turned off by the lack of authenticity in The DaVinci Code is more than surprisingâ€â€it is sad. That critics and even news media are so gullible is more than revealing about the state of our cultureâ€â€it reveals the tragic truth that our culture is in need of rediscovering Truth.

I was at the dentist awhile back and I overheard one of the dental assistants talking about the book. From what I heard, she is very anti-Christian and in conclusion she said she liked the book. That's really all I know about it or have heard. It sort of left me disinterested to say the least.
