the da vinci code
oh, one thing i did miss out in my last post is that i actually did find the time to sit down and read dan brown's 'da vinci code' (DVC) after getting it like 7 months ago!! wat can i say? i thoroughly enjoyed it. however, i have to point out that although the story was good, i cant quite say that dan brown is a good author. confused? read on..
here's how it goes, dan browns DVC isnt exactly dan brown's idea. its more like he took (stole is such a strong word) an already very well researched and widely published topic, inserted some characters, some story and action scenes and voila.. u've got the best selling book of the year. even more confused? well.. u ARE blur arent you? =P
okay, DVC actually builds on some theory which many conspiracy theorists have been discussing for ages, that Jesus actually had a wife and it was to this wife that He was to pass the church to after his crucification. however, due to many opposition from everywhere this was not to be. and to cut the story short, she had to 'disappear' and due to certain reasons (political and otherwise), this fact was conveniently omitted from the bible. however, the 'enlightened' ppl (da vinci and gang) knew wat was going on and actually left many clues in their arts in hopes that this story could be passed on to the world. kewl stuff.. therefore, if conspiracies are ur cup of tea and u're looking for something thought provoking, i highly recommend reading DVC. i'm sure u'll realise that u'd be seeing things from a totally different perspective.
oh ya, just so u know.. DVC is actually the 2nd book in the Robert Langdon series (the main character in the story), his 1st 'adventure' was in 'Angels & Demons', which is all about 'the illuminati'. wanna know more..? go read the book laaaaa! oh ya, heard DVC the movie is already in the works (if its not filmed already), with tom hanks playing the lead. wait for that if u're just too lazy to read the book, though as we all know, no book has ever successfully been transfered unto the big screen well so the choice is urs..
