Great book as long as your aware that some parts of it were fictional, some of the facts were true and there is a possibility of it being true but the secret society bit of intellecetuals was made up.

What? THe secret society is fact.. But noone really knows what has happened to them. If they died out or fully infiltrated the works is unknown.

The secret society of intellectuals bit sounds more like the Illuminati in Angels and Demons, rather than the Priory of Sion in the Da Vinci Code.

However, while the existence of the Priory of Sion isn't in doubt, there is some conjecture as to the validity of their message. Their (supposed) last Grandmaster made a mockery of their long tradition by making up a series of lies in order to promote the cult - and then admitting it under oath when the then president of France, Mitterand, became implicated in his duplicitous tales.

Damn,
I've never been much of a book person,
but yesterday I finished readin this book (The Da Vinci Code) and I liked it a lot,
and not just the story, but the experience of ¨reading a story¨,
what I mean by this, is the way they tell the story, with such detail, some of the
stuff you might never notice on a movie, but reading is diferent.

And also the movie is coming soon,
there could not be better actors as McKellen and Hanks for theyre respective roles.
Im very exited about it, and I'll have to look for the documentary
you mentioned earlier on this tread, I believe I have seen it a lot too.

If you liked that, have a crack at "Angels and Demons".

I don't rate his other two books quite as highly though...

Everyone I know say that Angels and Demons is better than Da Vinci Code.
