Title: Exciting fictional story, not based on history
Product review: "The Da Vinci Code" is a very intriguing, exciting, suspensful murder mystery full of secret codes and messages, a definite challenge to the reader to figure it all out before the main characters do. The book is full of subtle hints, and plenty of surprises too.Some have criticized the historical setting--assumptions about biblical history, contrary (even heretical) to orthodox Christian theology, and not supported by artifacts or ancient documents (and verify any "facts" laid out--like purported origins of words--through other means, as with any work of fiction!). But if one remembers that it's only fiction, one can have fun on this ride, and pretend with the author for the duration of the book, just as we pretend for a while that archeology professors transport themselves using whips and shoot at Nazis and just have fun watching the movie.
