    I read it and I thought it was a really good book until the ending. Although some of the facts are wrong, the storyline and characters and theat kinda stuff is good.

    I've read it. It's a pretty good book.

    There are facts woven through the theories (most of which are fairly well-known anyway), though, which is why I imagine people seem to think it's less of a fiction novel and more of a historical account.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I think you'll find there is pish woven thro' it, rather than facts. The theories are also the worst kind of bunkum. Wild hypothesis based on total conjecture, based on fraudulent "evidence".

    People think it's a historical account because Dan Brown has stated that it's a novel based on actual historical events, records and art.
