has anyone read the da vinci code? Options

[chewyXD]

Has anyone read the book. well, it blew out the truth about the life of Jesus Christ. though i must admit, it was a really good book, it just changed everything about what i know about the bible. Like, for example, Jesus was married and had children, and that the holy grail, represented his wife. what do you think??

[peanutbutterbbb]

the bible-contradictory stuff that the author states in his book aren't considered to be true. i'm not saying that they're false, i'm just saying that no one has been able to prove the things in his book. but then again, no one has been able to prove the bible to be accurate either.

most of the whole "jesus was devirginized and has an heir living right now" theory came from the book The Holy Grail. So if you want to learn more about this theory, read the book. I havn't read it yet, but I want to in the future

Jesus was never married and he was a virgin. There aren't real true facts to rep the da vinci code

[*CEP*]

The book was fiction.
Eventhough the places and things mentioned were fact, the book was still fiction.

Lemme repeat that, it's FICTION.

i know the situation was FICTIONAL, yet, the facts were NOT

[Yemmerz]

Jesus never got married- trust me...my parents have taken me to church all my life! and i never heard about Jesus' kids...

I just finished reading this book a few days ago. Wow. I read it in two days - that's how good of a book it was. Hmm...it really makes you wonder about things, huh? I really want to read the prequel, Angels and Demons, when I get a chance. Haha I brought this back from the dead...dun dun DUN.

Haha, I'm exactly the opposite, I read Angels and Demons but not the da vinci code. The prequel is really deep...I used up a lot of brain cells reading the book. I definitely want to read the da vinci code when I have a chance.

[*tweeak*]

it shouldnt change everything you thought to be true-its a ficticious book and the things in it are only theories, and should not change your beliefs

it was a good book though, the definition of a page turner and angels and demons was excellent as well, though i wasnt as impressed by the deception point

[JlIaTMK]

I Never read it but I heard it was mind blowing

[*Kathleen*]

I don't know why all these devout Christians are so upset. If you had half a brain, you would know this never happened, and all of the things mentioned are theories, as it was mentioned earlier in this topic. I mean, seriously...you don't have to write another book proving why that ficticious one is wrong. Wow. People these days.

[hybrid]

I don't know why all these devout Christians are so upset.

I thought it was just my priest for church who was upset...

[*Kathleen*]

I thought it was just my priest for church who was upset...

Oh no. Definitely not. Don't you ever wonder why it sells so much? All these churches burn them on the weekend. When they run out, they have to go out and buy some more. Just like they did with Harry Potter!

[hybrid]

Oh no. Definitely not. Don't you ever wonder why it sells so much? All these churches burn them on the weekend. When they run out, they have to go out and buy some more. Just like they did with Harry Potter!

I should tell them..

"its FICTION; get over it."

Watch them burn me too!

[*tweeak*]

Oh no. Definitely not. Don't you ever wonder why it sells so much? All these churches burn them on the weekend. When they run out, they have to go out and buy some more. Just like they did with Harry Potter!

my church actually had civil discussions about it to talk about itm and about what parts may or may not be true

and harry potter...what crap. lots of fantasies come out and they dont obsess ovver them, but thats off topic...

[jennifish]

i recently got the book. i heard its pretty good. tell me what you think. NO SPOILERs PLEASE!!!!!!!

[C.Lime.Jello.]

-read it-
-got bored halfway though because she was reading eight diffrent books and forgot which one was which-

... I guess it was okay.
I need to read it again tho.
AFTER I read the rest of the books I'm supposed to be reading.... -.-u

[Surfs_in_Cali]

JUST ABOUT TO FINISH...it's freakin awesome...stick w/ it!

[scleex88]

its fake. jesus wasnt married. he had no children.

[sugarcultluver]

nope, i've never read it before, i kind of want to though.

[nyctophiliac]

nope i haven't read it yet but my sister bought it so i'm probably going to

[silver-rain]

yeah, i've read the da vinci code. i thought it was a great book, contrary to what my english teacher thinks...

[lucky_clover]

nope, i've never read it before... way too confusing.

[Surfs_in_Cali]

UGH...I'm still pissed...I thought I liked it until I found out it a lot of it wasn't even true!...READ FOR YOURSELF! ...DA VINCI CODE IS WRONG!

[imadorkabledxd]

it rocks!

[gerundio]

yeah, i've read the da vinci code. i thought it was a great book, contrary to what my english teacher thinks...

Well, your English teacher is very right. It is entertaining, but it's crap literature.

[distortedMIND]

I read it. I thought it was pretty good.

I did find it weird that like one chapter was about three or even two pages. I disagree with some of the things mentioned in the book, though.

[IIO__oII]

well, how bout reading "CRACKING the da vinci code"? i want to read that. someone give the book to me for my birthday :D i'd love you forever and ever. ;]

[fallenang3l211]

the middle is boring and the end is disappointing, but its pretty good i guess. i'm reading angels & demons right now

[tootsie_kiddo]

i hav the japanese version of the book but i havnt started reading.... kanji confuses me

[rainnydaiis]

you need to read angels and demons to get it in the first place... and second of all dan brown gets some real life facts and puts it into a fiction book... so yep and it was a great book =P

[WhiteLotus*]

I really really really want to read it!!

[*wind&fire*]

omg i got up to where he discovers the body of the dead guy in the louvre (like 30 pages in) or sumthing and just stopped...blah its not my book... i found it SOOOOOO boring!

[soccermommy]

It was okay, but it's a piece of fiction so don't take it so seriousely.

[pbear]

I liked it, but I liked Angels and Demons more.

[euroFUSION]

I'm reading it right now. I think it's one of the best books ever. I'm no puzzle solver myself (slow with that kind of stuff), but it's very interesting.

[NYsmiLez]

its quite entertaiining. i found myself actually liking reading wen i was reading that thing. but the ending totally ruins the whole book. i wish i would have stopped reading before the ending and just apprecciate how good the book was. but no, i had to read it and b disappointed.

[Joyie]

I loved it. And I don't think ending was a disappointment at all.

But I do think Angels & Demons is a much better book.

[imthebunny]

many people dont like this book because of the religious concepts of it
but i dont read for religious reasons i read for entertainment and enlightenment
i thought the book was very good and gripping so stick with it

YES angels and demons i think was amazing! i wish i could say why but i dont want to ruin it (...very creative with a fate of four certain peoples... =X)

[*not_your_average*]

I LOVED The DaVinci Code.

I'm not sure if the stuff in the book was actually true or not.

[EmmalieV]

I got half through it , I prefer Angels & Demons though , such an awesome book.

[fameONE]

Its a good book but Angels and Demons is seriously a better story.

[(^_^)]

I'm about half-way through.

[toodlepops.]

I love love love that book. It's awesome.
I do agree you need a lot of aptience for that book because it can be rather confusing. But it was a good read.

[Paradox of Life]

My dad absolutely loved it. He finished it in like a day or two. I haven't read it, but we have the book so maybe I should start reading. Might be a bit hard to understand though

[waitwaitwait]

Jesus sux

[todrownarose]

I loved it, i'm christian too and i still loved it. I guess people would then say im not a proper christian, but it's fiction i don't see what the big deal was. If we know its fiction why did like a million people have to go out and write books saying that its not true.. it just gives more attention to it.

The smarter thing to have done was too ignore it.

It's still a cool book :) Makes you think loads! But believe what you want.

People have the right to their own opinions :)

[Paradox of Life]

UGH...I'm still pissed...I thought I liked it until I found out it a lot of it wasn't even true!...READ FOR YOURSELF! ...DA VINCI CODE IS WRONG!

That's why you'll probably find it in the "Fiction" section of the library. It's not WRONG, it's MADE UP.

[ichigofan]

OK the book itself is fictional, but the concept behind it is not. Although many people say that jesus wasnt married and stayed a virgin 'til his death that is not the case. Jesus was a JEWISH man of age 30-33 and in those days, a jewish man had to marry or will be the disgrace of the city/village/town/etc, So my theory is, If Jesus wasnt married than he had a girlfriend or was gay-which I doubt. And although the author says that in the painting of the last supper, DaVinci paints mary magdaline at his side, that was infact the youngest apostle john which when painted or described, always seemed to have long hair and a girlish face to emphasize his age and his purity- since women were regarded as pure and the face of the madonna.

[not_for_anything]

I agree with half of this thread...Angels and Demons was a better book!
yes the ending was a dissapointment! but i still enjoyed it
Dan Brown had good ideas about the rose line, and such.
