I did read "Angels and Demons" and thought it so ludicrous that I had no desire to read DVC. In "The Breath of God" I did find I needed more Zen and less drama.

Small's book for almost 2 weeks ever hopeful I will get hooked. Yes the Chinese Zen master quote got me, being a Zen practitioner myself...I stopped to write the quote down on my computer and went looking for the "real" name of the Zen teacher and I came upon your blog. <br /><br />I did not read the DaVinci Code and don't plan to. I lived in Rome one summer while on an archaeological dig of an Etruscan tomb. From what I learned about the book it feels trite to me in it's mission to tell a story that is so unrealistic. I was an Anthropology major as an undergrad and I read mostly non-fiction spiritual books. When I saw this book all over facebook I kept it on my list of must reads. <br /><br />I am sorry to report I will celebrate the ending yet I still have faith it "may" get better. This author self published and it is very clear he had no or then very poor editors. <br /><br />I so wanted this to be a great read and am sorely disappointed. Perhaps finding the Zen quote is and will be the highlight. I Hope Not. Back to the Rock pile of "The Breather of God".<br /><br />JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597777373102884820.post-10310469239207232442012-02-19T11:46:34.668-08:002012-02-19T11:46:34.668-08:00I love Di Vinci Code!

I have so many ideas but just don't know how to get it down on paper. Thank you for sharing this book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910922244054163516noreply@blogger.com
