Dan Brown` s Da Vinci Code
Some months ago I posted a review on Amazon.de. Fact is, I liked the book and could not stop reading till I reached the end.

I totally agree. I bought the english Version in June 2004 and read it within 3 days. It’s really one of the most exciting books I ever read (Ok, I didn’t read that much books, yet). It’s also beeing told, that there should be a movie. Looking forward to it…
Some days ago I saw on German teletext that a catholic cardinal in Rome called on the catholics not to buy or read the book, it being an insult to the Catholic Church.
For some part of the book I thought along similar lines, but the end is quite reconciling, I think, and anyway it is really great fun and a lot of suspense and thrill.
… and yet (second thoughts):
Books like these do something to your mind, don´t they? Perhaps not the single book, not the single TV report about what biblical events could “really” have been like, not the single textbook trying to explain who Jesus REALLY could have been, but the sum of them, hammering and hacking away…?
I listened to the lecture on Easter morning and realized that of course it MIGHT have been only mistakes, there MAY be simple and logical explanations for everything described in the Holy Bible…
Books making me doubt and rethink?
Perhaps we should be more careful about what we read or write?
Not sure, just having second thoughts.
