THE starting point to finding YOUR OWN answers., Jun 5 2004
By A Customer
Out of all of the books out there that attempt to explore the ideas from The Da Vinci Code, this one is by far the best jumping off point.Many of the books out there are written very one-sided, either trying to discredit all of Dan Brown's work or taking it to the extreme. This book takes the ideas one at a time and presents many different opinions on them -- conservative, extreme, and opinions in between. The author is basically a person who didn't know much about this stuff prior to reading The Da Vinci Code. Like many of us, he wanted to learn more. He went out, researched all the material he could get his hands on, and presents all the ideas he found here. He doesn't take the arguments, and try to draw conclusions and tell you what happened. He just says here is what different people think and why. It's up to you, the reader, to form your own opinion from all of the different arguments out there. It is a great way to begin your search for more information. It presents many different viewpoints, using excerpts from books, magazines, websites, and interviews. The sources of all the arguments are clearly identified, so you know just where to go to explore certain ideas further. This is the ultimate starting point to finding your own answers.
