Da Vinci Dud
… the novel has provoked unprecedented protest from serious scholars. First, it was Roman Catholic and Protestant conservatives, protesting that Brown’s characters inaccurately malign Christianity. Now, more liberal thinkers likewise say Brown’s claim to present facts through fiction is itself fictional and misleads readers.

I don’t think it’s necessary to avoid it. If you’re grounded in your beliefs, you should be able to sort out what’s true and what’s not.
In fact, I think I’ll borrow the book once it’s been returned to the library just to check out what all the hoolabaloo is about. And once the movie is out, I plan to watch it within the first few weeks of release.

I agree. If your faith is strong, this book not change your beliefs. I have to admit that I was bothered by some of the notions presented in the book. Once I got past that, I enjoyed reading it very much. I love a good thriller and this is one of the best, IMHO.

You might find this series of articles interesting (they debunk Brown with lots of proof and it’s probably a good thing to read before reading the book): http://www.khouse.org/articles/personal/20040701-527.html
