Telegraph | News | Archbishop attacks Da Vinci Code 'obsession'
If I were promoting a book or a movie, I'd just love the start an "obsession" with it. Seems just like what has been done with the Da Vinci Code, hyping a work of fiction.
I read the book. Nice yarn, plenty of action, but not exactly the best book of the genre I've read. If you start believing it, the facts tend to fall a bit flat: a secet, powerful group that lasts for 2 millenia; a family bloodline that last for the same time; a conservative Catholic organization that also lasts for 2000 years trying to bury the "facts." Got any swampland for sale?
Loads of hype for an action yarn. You can always find "wise men" who will opine about the serious ramifications of a piece of fiction. Yawn.
