I read the first page of The Da Vinci Code and didn’t like it, so possibly I don’t count as a leading expert on the topic. ToTheSource has apparently read the whole thing:

People often ask, “How much of The Da Vinci Code is true?” I wearily answer that Paris is in France, London is in England, and Leonardo da Vinci painted pictures. Let’s look at four areas where Dan Brown’s history is bunk.

In case you’re wondering, the four areas are: Constantine, the Knights Templar, the Priory of Sion, and da Vinci as a flamboyant homosexual. There’s also a sidebar about the guy who made up the stuff about the Priory that, apparently, Dan Brown fell for. [Tags: da_vinci_code]
