For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I read the book, much to the dismay of the people at my church. I thought it was great! Some other girls at my church also read it and we tried asking my pastor and other members of our church about some of the topics, but I can't stand it! All they ever say is, "well it was a fictional book." yeah, I know that, but they won't even attempt to discuss it! It bugs me. I think that, even though it is a fictional book, there are true facts in it and people should keep an open mind and not just avoid the topic.
The facts that are easily checked are wrong, e.g. hisdescription of Temple underground station, why they go on the underground at all, landing at Biggin Hill airport, even the length of the driveway at Leigh Teabings mansion (Brown says its 1 mile and in another place that it is half a mile), so with so many easily verifiable facts being wrong, and much sloppy writing, one has to wonder at the rest of the so-called facts he quotes.
The authors of The Holy Blood & Holy Grail - a non-fiction book that investigated the blood line of Jesus - are suing Brown. Anyone that read that book was not surprised by Browns book. (and he uses the names of the books authors as one of his major characters)
Anyway - if you're still interested, there's a lot of info on the mistakes in the book and details of the paintings he refers to at http://www.wineintro.com/forum/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=6 and http://www.lisashea.com/hobbies/art/lastsupper.html
