Badri - I beg to differ, Pa!! The fact that the book was written enough to taunt the Catholic Church into response, shows there's more to it than meets the eye.
Beyond the intrigues of the plot itself, I would suggest you cut some slack here, if one is able to substantiate the contents of the book, by holding it up to scrutiny, against what the Bible doth sayeth!
As long as nobody goes overboard, why don't we have a cool, calm, detached manner of discussion on the subject??????

Dan Brown's simple: He takes a holy cow -- NASA , Catholic church --- and do something to scandalize them, it ensurs a lot of controversy, reader interest etc by whipping up conspiracy theories.
As long as it is interesting timepass, who cares?

DALE BROWN
Friends,
I FULLY agree, with you that Dale Brown uses popular institutions such as RC Vatican Church, NSA, etc.,
But all 4 has very good research and well writen.
But Davinci Code, is the most popular- mainly because it uses the most controversial fig. whose History is not available- Jesus from Galilee.
Friends- When non-Christians see it as Novel, but Church intially took it as a enemy, later took the mistakes Brown made and made it to its positive use.
I feel his latests- Deception Point and Digital Fortress are more better.

Solomon: The author's name is Dan Brown, not Dale Brown, unless unknown to everyone, he changed his name!!!

And all his hero/heroines are claustrophobic; In, Deception Point the heroine is caught in submarine underwater and how does she escape, by kicking with her legs and breaking the doors.
The same scene occurs in A&D, where Robert Langdon is trapped in the library and he escapes by kicking his legs.
But I liked the divine feminine concept, that old religions had worshipped the feminine, and church had made in into a patriachal thing. :idea:

DanBrown and Novels
Friends,
I Am sorry for wrong spelling.
Every Novel is with Good Surprises, but as abbydoss showed, His Hero survives impossible, but that's Theatric techinic.
But Brown is SO POPULAR For Writing DAVINCI CODE with Jesus as Back Ground- but Church has been Exposing its weakness.

I've read Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons...I'm reading Digital Fortress...
They are all interesting and easy read...controversial as well...
Angels & Demons was more interesting for me...
I'm looking forward to watching Da Vinci Code movie with Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon...will be interesting...

Well, he talks science. It is difficult to take it as a time-pass novel, when you talk science extensively! Well...Sorry to disappoint you guys with a -ve remark!
