I like the Da Vinci's Code. It is a good fiction and a good thriller.

As to accuracy to sources, I didn't pay that much attention to it - because it is fiction, and like all fiction it is rarely based entirely on the sources - you will expect some author's exaggeration or changes to the original to fit their own storytelling. What's it call? "poetic license"?

I love myths - like Greek and Norse, but if I was to read modern novels of - say the Trojan War - I don't expect the novelists to follow exactly to the translation of Homer's Iliad.

I don't read modern novels of the Trojan War, though, because they are often crap.

I know its just a book, but i really dont like how people refrence it to me. People say, "did you know that there's a goddess?".... I guess I'm more upset with people's stupidity than the book itself.

But I don't think many people know about Gnosticism. I didn't know about Gnosticism until a few years ago. And I didn't investigate until late 2004. Goddess or the feminine principle is not so well publicised.
