It was fine to skim, but I don't think I'll keep it.First Edition Points and Criteria for The Da Vinci Code So that kind of raised some red flags for me, and I wasn't sure how much of the rest of this book to believe.īut it's also just a reference-type book, so it didn't really add anything that I either 1) didn't already know 2) didn't get from the other tDVC books I've been reading 3) couldn't get from the context of tDVC 4) couldn't find on Wikipedia. It just seemed odd to me that all of the other books that mention PP are very "NO! NO! HOAX! HOAX! LIES!" and Cox makes the PP/PoS story sound more true. The rest say Plantard is/was a fake Cox seems to either sound like it's 100% true, or is slightly, very slightly, hesitant/wishy-washy about it. Maybe it's because the author of this book seems to take a completely different tone about Pierre Plantard and the Priory of Sion than the authors of the other tDVC books take. It's basically an encyclopedia for some of the people, characters, ideas, and places that are referred to in The Da Vinci Code.īut it feels. not my favorite of the tDVC-related books I've read.
