Many people out there have read the Dan Brown book “The DaVinci Code”. Even more people have watched the movie. For those that have simply watched the movie, I implore you, go out and read the book. The movie, like so many others, simply doesn’t do the book any real justice. For those that have already read the book, it’s likely to have had one of two reactions. Either it turned you off to Dan Brown completely and no other book bearing his name will ever find it’s way on your bookshelf, or you are more like me, and it opened the door just enough to wonder. That brings up the point of this particular thread, which is to bring a little bit more popularity to another book, “Holy Blood, Holy Grail”.

This book was brought up within “The DaVinci Code”, but for a lot of us these types of things don’t stick with us until we’re done with the book and ready to pick up another. In this particular case, that’s a shame. This amazingly thorough book takes the idea thrown into the world’s consciousness through DaVinci Code and puts far more emphasis on the research behind it instead of telling a thrilling story as Dan Brown did.

“Holy Blood, Holy Grail” was written by three very meticulous authors; Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln. This is the book that really sparked the questions raised in other books after it. Even the most faithful of those out there are left wondering just how sure they are that everything they know is true.

This book isn’t meant to cause a crisis of faith, but instead to force the world as a whole to question what has always been assumed to be the truth. It is always important to question the status quo, and religion shouldn’t be any different. Blind faith that can’t be questioned is what most would call fanatical, it just isn’t viewed as such because it’s “your” religion. That’s what most people in the world would call hypocrisy. Take a chance on this book as just that, a book. For some it will stir new questions, for others it can be written off, but the world would be far better off with more people writing the book off than with so many that refuse to read it because it disagrees with their core beliefs.

book was better then the movie by far

well i really don't like the movie of da vinci code and even the book. i don't find it beautiful at all though it is one original story that was not written before. the concept of the story is great and will make you think if there is such a thing as a da vinci code. whether it is true or not i will not be influenced by its story or belief of the writer.
