# I've never read a Dan Brown book before
We're not being portrayed 'all' that badly at the mo.
It's a pure popcorn book, it's like reading a screenplay summary.
Nothing heavy, not great writing, but enjoyable enough hokum.

# Fair enough.
I read The Da Vinci Code, and I thought it was alright. Certainly never gonna be challenging any of the classics, but as you say, enjoyable enough. Nice to get a perspective from inside the illuminati ;)

# haha, not quite ;)
it does take liberties with some of the 'pre-conceived' ideas of masonry,
and Brown tries to tie that into known facts about it, sometimes in a right ol' mash of ideas, which I found quite amusing.
I shall look forward to seeing the movie, which I imagine will follow the book page for page - be interesting to see how they cast Sato as well

# I saw a short piece on it on The One Show.
And one of the interviewees, who was a mason, did tear apart quite a lot of the so called "traditions" that you all take part in. Much like the whole Da Vinci Code bollocks,
