Title: buyer beware
Product review: Alexander Pope once said "a little learning can be a dangerous thing." How true that is. Like others, including Oliver Stone, Brown has taken a few interesting bits of historical information mixed with some out-right fabrication and attempted to form a conspiracy of sorts, involving the Catholic Church and among others: Constantine, Mary Magdalene, Victor Hugo, Leonardo da Vinci and even Walt Disney.The trouble, of course, with this kind of fast and loose investigation in which the presumption that because A follows b then b must have caused a, is that it more often than not leads to mistaken conclusions.Ah, but this is a work of fiction, you say. That does not seem to be the message that Mr. Brown is spreading as he markets his novel. I suppose that the belief that this nonsensical pulp could be based on reality is essential to sales. So let that old caveat "buyer beware" continue to be your warning.
