Top Cardinal Blasts 'Da Vinci Code' as 'Cheap Lies'
Posted by Charles Austin at March 15, 2005 04:14 PMFor the 2005 season, I'm considering moving my fantasy football team to Da Vinci and calling my team the Da Vinci Hoax.

Actually I think his worst crime isn't taking advantage of weakminded people who are ready to fall for that old "Jesus was really married to Mary Magdalene!" junior high school canard; it's the fact that his writing style (for want of a better term) is an affront to the language of Shakespeare. Have you actually read this thing? Dan Brown makes John Grisham read like Marcel Proust. Behold: the cheese begins here.
There are way too many bad books in the world making tons of money and I don't know why I haven't jumped on that bandwagon.
