over-hyped and over-rated!!!
bunch of lemmings!!!

-
that i really am not too sure.i need to check with 33 other people who resides in my hair.will keep u inform ok?Originally posted by shade343:I havent read it yet. btw, is this post another of your rants? -
its not so much ppl reading it that bothers me, but ppl taking it for real, when that book is meant to be a fiction.

I've said it before. I'll say it again. It's fluff.
But I'm sure that doesn't prevent Hollywood from making a movie out of it. The Americans are so full of it.
My concerns are very similar to most of you. I fear for the general populace for imbibing this fluff and taking it for fact.
BTW, seems Mr. Brown's other books are riding on the crest of the popularity of "Code". -
Other authors are also riding on the popularity of the book.. adding more layers to the "fluffity"Originally posted by Si Geena:I've said it before. I'll say it again. It's fluff.

its worth as a good read, but still... it's overrated. n the fallacies promulgated in it doesn't enrich us either.
there are better reads out there. -
The reason why Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is so controversial is because he has lifted research from Gnostic scholars without permission (and is facing a lawsuit). Furthermore, he has put the Opus Dei orgainsation in a bad light as he is insinuating that OD will not hesitate to commit murder. Last of all, the book has the potential to mislead Christians from what they have been taught all along (about Jesus's celibacy).

It's just a book lar

so i see the purpose of this thread is to help us increase our post.
+1 -
well...i also wanna buy the book as well...
and btw ppl wanna read coz the info abt the clans and code r real..so pple want to know more abt it...like in one page it say 666 was the number of Satan....i searched it in the Bible and found it in Revelation....if u want to see, its in Revelation 13:18
"......If anyone have insight,let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number.His number is 666." -
so many ppl have that book now that u can easily borrow it from anyone. anyways i read the da vinci code last. I started with Angels n Demons 1st, moved on to Deception Point and Digital Fortress b4 i finally picked up Da Vinci Code.
anyone tried rule of 4 yet? its not that nice... -
Rule of 4...that one is a lot more dialouge...can get rather dry, boring and even confusing at times. But, all in all the Hypnerotomachia Poliphilli seems to be quite interesting. Especially with all this code breaking and stuff.
-
Feel tat this book is too much of a hype...some sensitive idiot pick it up and blow it out of proportion....
The book is listed as a fiction for christ sake (pun not intended). This is an author dream publicity.
Juz wondering wat will happen if a brilliant writer weave a tale of intrigue (wrong spelling...), murder etc etc etc... of Allan, Buddha and christ... -

I agree. I found it harder to read thru Rule of 4. And it Is a bit more confusing, the way it jumps between time frames.Originally posted by Othello_Red:Rule of 4...that one is a lot more dialouge...can get rather dry, boring and even confusing at times.
