This is a must - Read the book before seeing the movie!!

Open-minded, avid reader, a busy person, a fan of quick, page turning books

Pros

Better than the movie, controversial, Great work of fiction, Great historical data, Thought-provoking book

NOV

2007

This thought-provoking, controversial book does a masterful job of combining real-life works of art, architecture, people, and places, with religious hypothesis and fictional characters. This is a real page turner and delight to read. However, I would strongly recommend reading the book before seeing the movie. There is a lot of background information provided in the book regarding artifacts, locations, etc., that is hard to translate on screen without seeming preachy or scripted. I think it interferes with the pager turner theme and makes the movie more lengthy and slow paced than it should be.
