Two words describe this book. Lame and preachy. I got the feeling early on that since da Vinci code was so popular that some just wrote books on it just to cash. In. I loved the da Vinci code and thought it was an awesome ride and yes it did make me question my faith but not in the catastrophic way the writers of this book seem to believe. The writers of this book seem to think that dan browns book will shatter the pillars of Christianity. I suppose with all the backlash from the book some Christians would feel threatened and this book feels like a defense. It just comes off being preachy and the beginning of each chapter I felt I had to start ducking with the bible bashing. I'm Christian but I think people need to find their own way to the truth no one should smash them with it. Maybe in some cases dan browns book might bring people to god. Wonder if the writers ever entertained that idea. This book would probably be best used in a bible study or religion student not for the casual reader.
Nos da bastante bibliografía para derrumbar mitos entorno a lo que dice el libro del código Davinci además de llevar a las nefastas implicaciones prácticas del pensamiento de Dan Brown expuesto en el código Davinci
If you are into God and Divinity and want to know more, this is your book. Personally, I couldn't read it. I was like I was going to church to hear someone talking to me about the invisible man in the sky.
Well, it just an ordinary book, talking about the different perspective of Jesus. For me, I don't care about it anyway. That is why I questioned myself why I was sacrificing my money to buy this so-so book??
I was given this book because I loved the whole Dan Brown Series. I ended up skimming through it. Everywhere I turned a page & let it drop open to read, more "facts" from the Bible were presented as to why it's not a true story. Basically it points out what everyone already knows. That the series is fiction. HELLO!!! What a revelation! Pardon the pun :) It points these things out by using Bible references, yada, yada. I find it VERY funny that 2 such learned men as the authors actually felt the need to write a refutation book like this. To me, it simply points out that they felt threatened by a series of books that were simply designed to be a great set of adventure stories. Even funnier, the Bible is also a great set of adventure stories, even if you don't believe that much of it's actually true. Now, from my perspective, I do think "parts" of it are true, there's enough archaeological evidence to prove certain things, but not enough to make me a believer in all of it without question, especially since what's IN those covers is incomplete, & what was thrown out was thrown out for socio-political reasons of the time. So that gives THIS book a lot less credibility in my mental book.
ANYWAY, I was pretty bored with it, it's a lot of needless repetition & rhetoric.
WHY can't people let a good story just be what it is?
The second chapter starts with a girl getting dumped and then her lesbian roommate using Dan Brown’s book as an almost cult-recruiting tool. I stopped reading after that because it was already waaaay too “I-know-better-than-you” in the first chapter.
Contrary to what the title implies, this book proved nothing of the sort. I would almost go as far as to say it's a complete waste of time if it wasn't unintentionally hilarious.
