The
Da Vinci Code movie was ****
I was really into DVC and
Angels and Demons back when I still gave a **** about things religious. He's presenting a number of interesting theories that the masses probably haven't heard, although it's hardly as though he came up with them himself. That said, the plots of his books are extremely... basic, and I find myself questioning his characterization a lot of the time.
Still, he's getting people to question the dogmas they were brought up with, so I can't look a gift horse too squarely in the mouth.
