"Whether Brown's thriller deserves to be taken so seriously by religious leaders is unclear. A survey released this month by the Barna Group, a religious polling firm, found that 5 percent of U.S. adults who had read the book said it had changed some of their religious beliefs or perspectives." Interesting factoid. I read the book, it made little or no impression on me at all. In fact, I felt guilty that I got through it as quickly as I did because I knew while reading it that the book was the literary equivalent of a Big Mac. I can't now tell you Code's plot, except it involves a sort of semi-sophisticated scholarly/academic version of Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail somehow buried at the Louvre. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think the author borrowed a bit too heavily from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, a film I loved for its lack of pretense.
