Challenging the Church, Part 3
The last section of the book is a series of essays, interviews and "proof" of why The Da Vinci Code is false. I enjoyed the book up to this point. At the beginning it seemed like an unbiased review, a "hey, let our reader decide based on the evidence presented" sort of thing. In actuallity, the build up was to make their reader not believe a thing Dan Brown wrote. They even went so far as to outline, page by page, various geographical errors, timing errors and borrowed plot elements. All well and good, I guess, if you want to show that he could not possibly be right about the big conspiracy, if the author made mistakes about such little things. I still think it is a good novel and fun to read. It prompts people to think about what they really think regarding their faith and morals. It promotes intriguing discussions. But when it comes right down to it, it is a novel. No matter what sort of disclaimers are put in front of it.
