da vinci code

[TheNobleEU]

It's a work of fiction, heavily based in historical fact

Really? How so?

I've seen Da Vinci Code spinoffs and 'unauthorized guides to' and also 'unauthorized guide to the historical background of the Da Vinci Code' etc. Read any of those? Where would you recommend someone like myself start on this series (knowing that I'm not big on fiction).

Cheers,

I'd read the book before going into any of the "guides." I haven't read any of them, having a fairly extensive background on da Vinci already. I imagine they'd be interesting reads, though.

Robert Langdon is an american in the book

And ? I want him to be british, more interesting

IKE is dat Het Juvenalis Dilemma (cause that is waiting for me to be read after i finished "gestoord"???

finished reading The Da Vinci Code some time ago, was pretty good. I like the mysteries Dan Brown creates in his book. Also the fact he's talking about things you know, heared of or have seen in real life makes it intriguing.

I'm probably the only one that liked Demons and angels a bit more

Btw all that love the way Robert Langdon works in the books to solve mysteries will like the movie National treasure. Symbols is a hot item in that one too.

I have been to Roslin ...

strange place doesn't really feel like a chapel at all

Personally, when I read the book I thought of Nicolas Cage in the role. Dunno why (doubt it was National Treasure, which I could see the connection but haven't seen yet ) but I thought he might have been able to pull off the emotion needed. Failing that, Jeff Goldblum is another decent choice

As for the others, not really much idea - Jean Reno in one of the French male roles. Maybe Remy but more likely Fache As for Teabing, it'd have to be an oldish English guy with an extrovert manner and can play comical and serious at different times - Maybe John Cleese?

As for Angels & Demons, you don't really have to read it before DVC - I read Digital Fortress two months ago and managed to read DVC two weeks ago. Still need to read DC and A&D

Having said that, if you can get a copy of the Collector's Illustrated Edition grab it! I bought it for my mother at Christmas and was surprised myself what they put in there. A lot of the items referenced in the book are put in areas around the pages so you can see what Brown was talking about in the book
