Summary: very acedemic...VERY diverse.
Comment: This book is fun with a capitla F-U-N. It is, however, a very thick and acedemic book filled with excerpts and articles from published scholars. The DaVici COde is fiction. Yes. This book makes that very clear. But what the novel did to its audience is simple and healthy... it wet peoples appetite for reading, and made them curious about a slew of conspiracy theories as well as Christian history. This book has a smattering of every topic readers might be curious about. Interviews with ELain Pagels whose scholarship I don't hightly value is in the book. So are some things I find boring. But the editor has even included a lenghty excerpt from the notirously un-scholarly "Holy Blood, Holy Grail". Beacuse, well, because its printed, published and read by many people...including Dan Brown. So, buy this book and have fun reading it. Skip around or read bits in parts. Its incredibly fun for a scholarly smattering into real historical research.

Summary: Find out what the secrets really are.
Comment: I had to laugh at the few low ratings by raving zealots on 'The Da Vinci Code.'. If you are a person, that has always asked "too many questions," then 'Secrets of the Code' is for you! Whether you are a Philosopher, Theologian, or Agnostic, this book is a welcome addition to your reference collection. This book makes you think, so Fun-dam-entalists should probably skip this one. Right or Wrong, this book will get your wheels turning...which is all that really matters, right?
As a voracious reader, I have read the best. Both 'The Da Vinci Code,' and 'Angels and Demons' which were both heart-stopping thrillers that keep you turning pages until you arrive exhausted at the end. You're truly "in on the chase." Improbable as it seems, Dan Brown has opened the doors of our curiousity which makes one almost compelled to examine the 'evidence' further. 'Secrets of the Code' is a book that teaches, makes you think, and entertains, all at the same time. Few authors can accomplish that. In this case many educated experts on the subject matter.
For those who say this book and Brown's books go against their beliefs and their dogma, consider this: The tip of the iceberg: Numerous authorities who had noted the errors in the K.J.V. such as William Kilburne (1650's) 20,000 errors, John Wesley (in 1755) 12,000 changes in the New Testament alone, the Revised Version of 1881 consisted of 36,000 errors and on and on. The NIV, RSV and The Living Bible are also replete with thousands of errors. Do some research!
If you are open minded and looking for those books begging for its pages to be turned...look no further. Read 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail,' and ANYTHING by Ken Follett! I just read a copy of Edgar Fouche's 'Alien Rapture,' which also blew me away. Fouche was a Top Secret Black Program 'insider', whose credibility has been verified over and over. Want to be shocked, check out Dr. Paul Hill's 'Unconventional Flying Objects' which NASA tried to ban. Buy this book, you will love it.

Summary: Great Job Explaining A Lot Of Mr. Brown's Hit Book!
Comment: First of all, like Mr. Brown's now world famous current novel, this is simply a great read! And that is my main criterion for any book! Just about everything in DA VINCE CODE is critiqued and analysed, from a photo of the book's inferences about some of the "clues" in the LAST SUPPER, with markings included, to real trivia like how near the Men's Room in the Louvre is to the road outside, and is the castle in Paris real.Or was the Agnus Dei headquarers in NYC given a high rating by Architectural Digest (etc.etc.) Sure, there are some holes in the book (DVC), which after all is a fictional novel, somewhat like an Umberto Ecco novel, but a much better and breezier read, and vastly superior narrative! Even while picking apart many trivialities, many of the commentators in SECRETS OF THE CODE note that many of the main premises have a lot of historical basis, such as that the books of the Bible were hand picked at the Niceon meeting (around 310 AD), and others tossed in the garbage (later discovered 1700-plus years in the Egyptian desert as the Gnosnic Books).The great thing about a book like MR. Brown's is it makes people think, something that has not been encouraged all the time by many organizations, not exempting religions. So read the DaVinceCode first, then check into this highly readable, but super well done guide!
