I like the books they flowed well but dude they all had horrible endings the last few chapters of each one was so bad.

The movie would have been way beter if they spent more time explaining the elbino as he was the main evil doer in the book and yet my wife (who did not read the book) had trouble understanding his role in the movie. In the book they spent time explaining him and what he was doing. But in the movie he just poped in and out and they would show him whip himself but never once explained why.

Hey Dave and you other readers I need some good know some good books, I travel some for my job and when in other countrys in th winter I end up reading a lot on the planes and at night. Please bumb me a PM with your favorite books.

When I was in Germany for 6 weeks I read like 10 books and we were going out to the bars most nights.

Dan brown has said that he wrote this story to encourage discussion about religious matters, but it has caused more heat than light. I have even heard that a teenage girl gave up her Christian faith after reading this book, so I do not if this is an indended or unintended consequence. He seems to say that this is a work of fiction,but winks at his audiance. Christians have spoken out against this book & have been accused of protesting too much, with some concluding that it might mean that there must be some validity to it. This thinking reveals bad reasoning. Supossre I was to write a book about your dear mother, protraying her as a whore, but saying to you in the introduction, 'not to worry; this is a book of fiction'. If you come out lambasting my book, some may conclude that it may be true, while others not hearing any repudiation from you may also reach the same conclusion that you must krow she is a whore, thus this bad reasoning. Dan Brown is very clever not to say what is true & what is fiction about Jesus as portrayed in this book, so his so-called research is left unquestioned. Therefore, I strongly suggest that If you truly want to find the historical Jesus, read with an open mind the New Testament, which was proclaimed consistantly by his true disciples before it was ever written down.

The Davinci code is real!!! I think Joshua the Annointed (Jesus Christos) banged Mary M and prolly didnt wrap it up with lambskin and she got knocked up and had kids.. If JC was in fact divine it would be no different than the stories of the fallen watchers (angels/messengers) in Genesis/Enoch having sex with the daughters of men and having halfbreed offspring causing (G)od to unleash the Great Flood. That's prolly where the Greek Mythology stories of the demigods stemmed from or vice versa.

Sorry it's 'off topic' to Da Vinci Code but the Gospels weren't written by anyone who knew this alleged Jesus....the Gospels are hearsay by unknown authors and written decades after the alleged events.
