[quote=""Tanzanite""]oops - it seems in my brevity (typing on my phone and that damn auto correct is annoying so I tend to keep it short!) I left the wrong impression. I only meant that I wouldn't include stuff like the one in question in the future. I'll admit it was a little out there but I thought a few members at least had mentioned they like those fairy tale re-telling stories and I've included a few that I've run across over the last few years so thought I would include this one. Plus, I gotta admit - I love the cover!!

So, no worries. Apologies for any confusion.

Yes, there has been much gnashing of academic teeth on a medievalist list where I hang out!

I could not get through his last novel....I'm hoping that this one is better, but I think I'll wait and see what other readers' responses are before I buy it!

Same here! Don't care what people say, I love his novels. Whether they are historically accurate or not, I love a good conspiracy/mystery mixed with history and action/adventure. It's fun. Plus, Da Vinci Code introduced me to the Gnostic Gospels - can't really complain when a novel introduces you to real parts of history you didn't know about before (and this was before I got into history and historical fiction).

And then I read a book about the book to learn more about the stuff Brown is writing about and where he got it right or wrong.

I still need to read Dan Burstein's "Secret's of Angels & Demons".

I agree totally - DVC was a daft page-turner, A & D wasn't bad (but bonkers) and I haven't bothered with Digital Fortress or Deception Point despite having DP at home. I didn't fancy Lost Symbol but I am quite intrigued by the new one, will wait for reviews and then the pb.
