The DaVinci Code

No matter what anyone says, I enjoyed the book. The manipulation of historical facts for the purpose of propogating the storyline was marvelous. Of course, my first instinct was to blindly believe in what Brown wrote but there obviously ARE NOT 666 panes of glass in the Pyramid at the Louvre and neither does Mona Lisa seem to come from Amon and L'isa: I mean, why an italian prefix for an Egyptian name?

Anywho ... brilliant work indeed and so it was slightly disturbing to find that there's a legal war going on out there waged by one Lewis Perdue of Sonoma, California, United States who published a book in 1983 called The Da Vinci Legacy and another in 200 called Daughter of God: both of which he claims brown plagiarised DVC from.

Hmm.

In the meanwhile, I have my eyes set on a certain book spotted at Spinney's Umm Suqeim: The VaDinci Cod. :)

Wow.

Looking for a softback version at the abovementionied one was hardback and 35 Dhs and to really the kind of money I like to spend on books - ESPECIALLY not spoof ones.

And maybe someone should add an erotic component about Leonardo's love life and call it "The Da Vinci Codpiece."

Or not....
