Negative Positive
Title: "It is wiser to find out than to suppose."
Review: I really wanted to give this book a chance. But, over and over, I would just get into it and then Brown would make a stupid mistake. Causing me to become frustrated and a bit offended by his lack of respect for his readers intelligence. I am not Catholic but I do know a great deal about the inner workings of the Catholic Church. After reading this I can now see why the church is so angry with him. He simply has things wrong. Most of the "facts" he states about papal succession are wrong. As well as several of the things the former pope was supposed to have said and done no pope would ever say or do. If he had he would never have been elected pope. I am also not foreign to scientific understanding and, there as well, are some very basic mistakes. The reviewer before me has pointed out language mistranslations so I feel that I can safely say that Dan Brown should heed the advice of Mark Twain, "It is wiser to find out than to suppose."
Is the review positive or negative?
