I don't understand the Dan Brown hate. I thoroughly enjoyed both his last books and am looking forward to buying stealing the new one from my stepmom when she's done because I'm poor. I'm no history major or anything, but I don't see what's so horribly wrong about him not doing his research. Thousands upon thousands of other works have been terribly inaccurate and haven't been subject to as much venom as Dan Brown has, so what's the big deal?

Honestly, if I wanted to read a super srs book about the Knights Templar or whatever, I'd go read a textbook. I'm in it for the campy LHC subplot and the dudes getting killed in creative ways.
