Write a new title for your book.
If I could give my book a new name I would name my book The Secret of the Priory of Sion. I would name it this for the reason that DA VINCI had a lot to do with the book but in my opinion not enough to have the book named for him.

What are your favorite Quotes?
My favorite quote in this book is ЃeWhat is history, but a fable agreed upon?Ѓf as said by Napoleon. The reason I like this quote is that it means everything in history is one sided the winners tell there version and the losers donЃft.

But it turns out that the Holy Grail had been moved again to the Louvre art gallery in Paris. This is where the main character Robert Langdon finds the bones of Mary Magdalene under the glass pyramid of the Louvre. I thought the search would end at the Roslin church but I was wrong.
Do you think the author is asking you to judge one of the characters?
Yes I think Dan Brown is asking me to judge Robert Langdon. For the reason that knowing were and what the Holy Grail is, is a big responsibility. So, he is asking us to decide if he is in a sense worthy enough to understand and know the secret of the Holy Grail. If Robert in the end was selfish and wanted the glory of finding the Grail for him self then the effect would be catastrophic. But as it is in the book he
