devinci code is a pile of garbage.
In a recent article, USA Today has said that The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown will be the second best selling book of the year. For the record, number one is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Harry Potter is more believable...LOL
It was inevitable that I should eventually read this book. Too many people talking about it, too many books gracing the shelves of Borders and B&N, and, of course, the curiosity: what could be so marketable that it would command the NYT best-seller list for so long? Notice that I asked about "marketability," not "literary quality." I am not naive.
So I read Mr. Brown's book, and it is bad. It is mediocre literature at best, it is offensive to the thinking reader, and it is as condescending as it is stupid. In case someone has any doubts, I did not like the book one bit. I am not even going to offer the tired stab at being good-humored: it's not even a good mindless thriller.

We have in The Da Vinci Code, God help us, a best-seller which is not only deeply anti-Catholic – indeed one could reasonably call it "hate speech" – but also profoundly corrupt, worse than pornography. Why? Because it is propaganda for what was rightly called in the Old Testament an abomination – ritual orgiastic sex with a "priestess" in front of a chanting crowd. The great Hebrew prophets thundered against this use of sex as a religious rite, and with good reason. Those who got addicted to it were virtually beyond reclaiming. They were not likely to repent when they deluded themselves into thinking that this sin exalted rather than defiled them. Sad that a book advocating such a monstrous perversion should come out of Doubleday.

Dan Brown’s fictional best seller, The Da Vinci Code, sat at the top of the best seller’s list for weeks. Goddess worshippers and Christian haters around the globe have not only given it rave reviews, but offer it up as proof that Christianity is a lie. You might be wondering how a fiction novel can have such an impact. It can because Brown makes the claim that the book is based on fact.
