Either buy that or wait for the film...
How can you be fair (and fairly be critic...) without been thought an integrist?...
The problem with this work of fiction, and enphasis is put on FICTION, is the subject... You see, if you criticize the poor level of craftmanship as a thriller, it's muddled and jumbled-mixed theories about the "feminin" part of divinity, and the wholesale amalgamation in a single book of such vast amount of controversial or pretended obscure "subjects" (Da Vinci, Sion Priorate, the Templars, life of Christ, "lost" evangiles or gospel, OPUS DEI, IVOR, egyptian gods, Mitras, Pyramids, Holy Grial etc...),instantly you fall in the category of one-track-mind fanatics derided in the book...
Actually if one has the ability to (and probably I don't have it) to compare the basis of nearly all religions (What a tricky subject!) the obvious conclusion is we as a species seem to NEED TO BELIEVE in SOMETHING HAPPENING after dead... be it Manitou's Green Prairies, Walhalla, Heaven, Hell, Paradise, Reincarnation, Sublimation (Teilhard de Chardin theories are not used in this volume, but wait till Mr. Brown finds out and "write" another pamphlet using them as basis or "fact"...).
You'll probably not believe it but what is really amazing is the level of audience and publicity of such a BAD THRILLER, it's a morbid subject (slandering religions have plenty of potential mind...) but it's so badly ploted and constructed as a work of literary fiction I nearly did not finish it... so many inacuracies... (I ended the book using sense of humour and just for the sake of knowing how the nonsense will end...).
Mind, it has the page turner quality but it's a tabloid level quality, I wonder how many of it's readers (and you can count me off) will reread this "thriller" again in the future...
The main wrong of it all is the sheer capacity of people to be mislead or - pardon me - been led to believe by an editorial success that some or all the afirmations on this book are true... or based on scientific research...
Guess the film will be a succes too... (if some clever scriptwriter polishes the thing...)
