Title: provocative ideas, shallow characters
Product review: Robert Langdon is a bookish Harvard professor who needs a holiday. The symbologist is then drawn into the an implausible mystery involving the holy grail. The existence of the Priory of Scion, Jesus's marriage to Mary Magdalene or the arbitrary decisions at the Council of Nicea raises interesting quetions about the the church. One would expect that a scholar would be revealed to show more reflection and background on these topics. But his character, like Sophie's, is intended to be more visual. Rather than having read the book, I could have waited for the movie.
