The top of the pile (8/9 people found this helpful)
There's a lot of material out there refuting Dan Brown's novel, and I'd say this is the best. It covers by far the most ground, although not in as much depth as some would like. For a more thorough look, you'll want to read a few books, not just one.
This, however, is the perfect reference book for refuting Dan Browns howlers point by point.
Another weakness is Abane's slightly exhaggerated passion in defending Leonardo Da Vinci - almost as though he's sticking up for a best friend. Still, his facts are sound.
I would make this a first point of refernce for anyone seeking the truth behind the Da Vinci Code. A close second is Darrel Bock's book.
Short and Sweet (21/29 people found this helpful)
"The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code" is a short and good rebuttal of Dan Brown's historically deceptive "The Da Vinci Code". This book is very good and can be read in about one hour or two, depending on how fast one reads. For those of us without much time, it is fabulous. Having said that, its shortness is perhaps its only deficit. But you can get other books with more meat, i.e. "The Da Vinci Hoax" is also excellent.
