It'll be made into a big Hollywood movie where it will get the editing it
needs.

Actually, I quite enjoyed it!  I was up till the wee hours last night
finishing it.  So it has some merit in the suspense department.  Unusual,
because normally if a book's style irritates me, I can't finish the book.
As I said to Mark, I'd be curious to discuss this with anybody who's read
it, off-line, because there are some aspects of the premise that I've looked
into before.  Brown did a lot of research, but his primary source seems to
be a book that was deeply criticized for its inaccuracies.  The material
about Leonardo Da Vinci, though, is fascinating, and I would want to know if
the book's premises had anything behind them.  If only Umberto Eco had
written this.
