I didn't really think the Da Vinci Code was that great... It's really poorly written and full of cliches. What makes it interesting is his whole interpretation of the myth of the grail, but apart from that, it's pretty bad... And despite that little blurb at the beginning about all his facts are true, that's also a load of bull, and is there just for dramatic effect
Yeah, I see what you're saying. The theory of Jesus and Mary Magdalenes bloodline was one I had never heard before, but once you hear it, you start to see it everywhere. Like Dan Brown says in The Da Vinci Code, George La Tour's 'Penitent Magdalene' even shows up in The Little Mermaid. To be honest, I don't know if I believe that Mary and Jesus had children, and that his bloodline still exists today, but I definately believe he was just a normal guy, and probably did get married. In those days, wasn't it wrong to be a Jewish male and to not married?

I liked The Da Vinci Code. It was an interesting - but definately not amazing - novel. The claims in it were somewhat far fetched (the Holy Grail residing in the Louvre, for instance), and should be taking lightly. But all in all, it was cool, and definately showed me things about Da Vinci's work I had never noticed before (the anomilies in 'The Last Supper' and 'Madonna On The Rocks', for instance) If my head hadn't been next to a bass amp, drum kit and a guitar amp all night, and my ears and head weren't ringing like they are, then I would talk about this some more. lol
