Heh...

I read your post and chuckled at the satire. Then I thought, "Hang on is he serious?". Then I said "Nah...". Then "But it sounds so plausible...."

[nervous]

BUT, quite a fun book to read.


i hear Raiders of the Lost Ark never really happened either

[Plotloss]

Its real, on my life.

Directed by Ron Howard, Tom Hanks already reading.

Bleakness abounds...

True. But then it didn't pretend to be.

For me the ONLY way that book could've been half interesting would be if it was 100% true. Even then I would've shrugged my shoulders....

Each to their own and all that.

Bernie Ecclestone? - I don't remember a dwarf with deep pockets being in the story......

this is funny...

okay, the book does say all the societies etc were true...

BUT

Its found in the FICTON section, and at no point, claims to be true...

[nervous]

just out of interest, what section is the bible in?

[Plotloss]

But it does say on Page 1

Everything in this book is true...

Not in my copy it doesn't...

It just lists a few things that he says are fact ie.. The Priory of Sion, The Vatican prelature known as Opus Dei and that all descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals are accurate.

Yes, but the book and the film 'Fargo' said that too, when it was just a novel and a film of the novel. That's the thing about fiction, you can say things like that, because it's part of the fiction.

A beach read for conspiracy theorists...

Yeah I haven't read such a load of made up rubbish since Sunday School.

no it doesnt.

It says the secret societies, locations and historical events are true.

Now, it was proved that one of the societies was a hoax...

But even so - if the Hitchikers Guide To the Galaxy said in the beginning 'the universe as described is all true' would you believe it?

Disagree! I thought it was a very good book.

[Plotloss]

But they arent and it was ripped off anyway.

How Dan Brown can claim credit for it is astonishing.

Load of old toss from the start to the finish.
