btw people, the real Opus Dei isn't as described in the book, it's only rumors about the stuff Silas did
I heard Langton is gonna be played by Tom Hanks and Sophie by the girl that played Amelie (no idea how to spell her name in english and excuse me if this has already been mentioned, but no time to read the thread over)

Actually, Opus Dei was used symbolically.. and also the Priory of Sion... The thing Dan Brown wouldn't admit of course. He rather wanted to be that way. Priory of Sion is not actually the secret society where those mentioned prominent people counted in... It won't be so secret anymore if Brown insisted to reveal the real name of the secret society in his story.
The Priory of Sion does NOT exist! It was a French hoax created for a laugh in 1956, fulfilling the surrealist ambitions of its three creators. It did take its name from a short lived Catholic orde rhtat wrapped up in 1617. They took the name of an irrelevantm forgotten order and created the entire line of bullcrap that Holy Blood/Holy Gail, and later DaVinci Code, is based upon.
I cannot believe rational people still believe this stuff after its exposure. The very people themselves who are the source of all of it admitted the hoax years ago.
Nearly every single thing listed in the Davinci Code is not real- regardless of what Dan Brown says.

Oh...la...la...Well, let me see...It's written like a Clive Cussler novel, it's inaccurate and it's ends like any other middle-of-the-road, trashy 'thriller' novel. Oh, and it's the litterary equivalent of a Big Mac.
Do you require further embellishment?

ermm...you don't read a thriller novels to get knowledge about stuff. you read them because you want some entertainment. (at least it is my reason) and i don't see why are you forbidding this entertainment to some ppl if they want to they can read it. even they like it good for them, coz they had fun. and it was actually slightly better than average 'trashy' thriller. (at least you didn't know how it will end after reading first two sentences )
there are two ways of classify a good book
1. it has a big point, and is important. and i'm unable to read it. coz it is depressing me too much.
2. it is a 'read-me' book. you take it, you read it and book is read. you are having some fun in the meantime.
and why are you making such a big deal of it?
(and btw if you want to compare something to big mac, try reading harlequins)
