The Da Vinci Code & The Complete Idiot's Guide to Mary Magdalene |
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown is probably the best fiction thriller published in recent years.
It is based on the premise that the secret of the code, when found, will change the
world view. Will the religious historian and the woman helping him find the code
and interpret its meaning? Or will the forces working against them find the code
and destroy it? This book hits on religious themes that are at a minimum, thought
provoking and at a maximum, some would say heresy. This book is highly recommended
as a work of fiction or just to find out what all the hubbub is about. The Da Vinci Code is shelved in the Recreational Reading Collection of the Library on the first floor across from the Circulation Desk.
