Review:
This was a very informative book. It answers many questions raised in a very popular fictional book. It is well documented. Some of the phases were above my understanding but each chapter had a well written summary. I felt that the subject of Mary Magdalene was over done but felt the chapter summary gave a good summary of who she was. I felt the title is deceiving in that Da Vinci is not really the person, or subject, in question. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone with questions arisen from the reading of "The Da Vinci Code"
