So they found a painting of Mona's sister or an early study. Nice timing. I do have to say that I loved Da Vinci Code the book and get annoyed by those who turn their nose up. No, it is not literature; it's ice cream. Dan Brown sets all the hooks and you know he's doing that and it's fine to enjoy the ride. Really; it is.
Having said that, this bit of satire is quite funny and Onionesque.
Ice cream - I like that. And agree with you completely.

I haven't read it yet but I am impressed that you stated that you like it for what it is. I think far to many reviewers took it upon themselves to trash it for its writing or subject matter rather than just reading a good page turner.

I saw the DA VINCI CODE movie a week ago and loved it. I haven't read the book yet but intend to.
It's fiction. Just good fiction. I heard on a TV morning show that some of the worry comes from what kids make of the story plot. They're impressionable. And I also know the object of fiction is to make it appear as real in the minds of the reader. What is that term? Suspend disbelief?
The talk of the book and the movie certainly has made things interesting.
