It really is a great read -- I couldn't put it down -- but fiction is the operative word here. What passes for "fact" in the book (and is presented as fact in other books from which Brown clearly drew) is based on shoddy scholarship, conjecture and gullibility to conspiracy theories at best. But it's kind of like my grandmother used to say: Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. And this is a really, really good story.
