Yes, myckia, it was a grand ride of a book.  I read it twice, and then I began my own trail of research in trying to track down Brown's sources, both cited, suggested, and insinuated :)  Fascinating stuff, whether taken as possible history or mythology instituted by a religious movement. <g>  I, too, am looking forward to the movie, but ... as with all books that capture both a mood and my mind,... I worry that the screen will fall far short of expectations.

 

There is a purpose in my reposting part of this reply.. I wanted to give the background of the book (since S.C.E. was asking) w/o having to type it all up again. On a funny note... Brown declaired his book a work of fiction... the gentlemen who wrote "holy blood holy grail" claimed it to be history.at the time.so now they are all trying to backtrack what they said... hehe
