    Default Re: The Da Vinci Code - who read the book

    didnt like it that much at all. i had been into the knights templar/priory etc since the third gabriel knight game hard core and i thought that dan browns story was sub par - characters were bland and storyline was kinda dumb. it has caused a lot of commotion, so that is interesting, but the entire plot (although sort of backed up by brown as semi-factual) is crap. i have visited temple bar, rosslyn chapel, certain areas of paris, etc - read an insane number of books on the idea (all before reading his novel) and i have found nearly all priory and templar legends to be as fabricated as the loch ness monster.

    i enjoyed angels/demons better, even though dan brown is hardly a memorable author.
