It was Paul that made Christianity think sex was wrong. Truthfully, this religion should be called Paulism.

I knew the outcome 1/3 of the way into the book.


Yes, I started to read that one as well. and quite soon I began to think "Hey Iīve read this before", and I didnīt even like it the first time

Ogie, Iīve come across plenty of one-trick ponys in the fantasy genre. I can see the tell tale signs quite early

Most of the fantasy genre is a one trick pony.

Or maybe this was the only way this Cardinal was ever going to get his name mentioned in the world press.

The Da Vinci Code is Harry Potter huge for some reason.

Yeeesss, evidently, but when James Joyce uses a framework of 'facts' in 'Ulysses', those facts don't include that Edward VII is the illegitimate son of the King Of Tonga and Queen Victoria, or that the Prime Minister of the British Empire is head of a Masonic clique of international spies who sacrifice nubile virgins in the British Museum.


Clearly to Dan Brown there are 'facts' then there are other 'facts' which are useful for shifting large amounts of his books, hoodwinking the gullible, cooking up a conspiracy and making him famous.

Silly statements by dotty old bishops are always counterproductive

a. they give lots of publicity to the book so people buy it more

.b thus they tend only to show noone pays attention to what Bishops say.

It is a very silly book and rather poorly written according to the reviews I have read so he should have just shut up.
