Cracking the Da Vinci Code: The Facts Behind the Fiction


First off let me just say that I am not the author of this excellent guide. Yet again it is another Simon Cox - this time the chap who is also the editor of Paranormal. (Hmmm...)

I purchased my copy at a local bookstore and it was in the region of £6.50 which I think was a bit steep. Amazon have a much lower and more realistic price as this book is not that thick and most of the info can be gleaned from the web if you know where to look. I did learn a lot from it though and if you are a fan of Dan Browns novel it may be worth getting this.

Cracking the Da Vinci Code: The Unauthorized Guide to the Facts Behind Dan Brown's Bestselling Novel is "the first non-fiction companion to Dan Brown's mega-selling novel "The Da Vinci Code". Its simple A-Z format tells you everything you need to know about the facts behind the fiction, and reveals the latest theories about the secret society called the Priory of Sion and the remarkable legend of the Holy Grail. Featuring background information on all the key characters, illustrations of the symbols encoded in the paintings, further reading resources and countless 'extras' (such as revealing the in-jokes hidden in the characters' names), this is an invaluable resource for the many millions of fans of the book".(Quote from Amazon) And it was not me that wrote it, or put another way, I did not write it.
