Looking for a summery of The Da Vinci Code

Island Oak:

You are ill-equipped to argue one way or another about something you have never read in its entirety because you lack detail and context;

Agreed, that is why I was looking into reading it.
Island Oak:

I’m curious how you’ve arrived at a decision to argue it with anyone if you don’t know what it says…

I don’t know all of what it says, but I do know some of what is said. Based on all that I know of the claims made in the book, I deem it to be wrong, which is why I want to be able to defend my opinion if it should ever come into question.

All i am looking for is some text that goes down, point by point the claims made in the book. That way I can be fully informed without having to read it. However if I cannot find anything like that I probably will just have to read it.

You could always just read it to avoid the biased “summaries” you’ll get.

Oh wait, then you’ll turn into a Satan worshipping homosexual. Dont read it.

Amy Wellborn (writer for Our Sunday Visitor) wrote a very good, short book, “Decoding DaVinci” which includes a synopsis of the book and lists each error and addresses it. I found it very helpful, although I had read the book (from the library - I didn’t buy it). It was two years ago and a friend whose opinion on books I usually found acceptable - no longer - had recommended it to me. It is very anti-Catholic and very new age. I was most offended by the hatchet job he does on Opus Dei.

I find it humorous that since Mr. Brown is obviously a liberal arts major, he couldn’t make the “secret” math based and complex, but had to use mere anagrams for his mystery. There is also an obtuse moment in the book that is simply gross having to do with - well - it can’t be mentioned in polite company. Needless to say, this book is NOT worth the time or effort.

Also, a priest I know is addressing the book and its errors on his blog: remorselessapology.blogspot.com/ You will LOVE this man - his columns are called, “Apologize and Don’t Be Sorry”.

Actually, in the case of this book it would be a mother nature-worshipping homosexual.
