The DaVinci Code

OK, so I might be a few months to a year late, but I haven't been blogging, OK? I read the book this past April and am about to go see the movie tonight at the dollar theater. I expect it to be good. I'll let you know afterwards.

For the record, I really enjoyed the book. It was a good story. Too bad so much of the history is bad. I know, I know, "but it was a fiction book." Well, I would have accepted that too, but for this little blip at the beginning of the book that said that all historical and art references were true and accurate. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Too bad.

Anyway, the book obviously had plenty of publicity and attention. I think it sold a gazillion copies or something like that. I decided to read it because I wanted to be able to talk intelligently about it when someone brought it up. I am glad I did.

Greg Koukl of Stand To Reason has a very useful article on the book. If you are not aware of many of the historical inaccuracies in the book, this will help.
