The author of this book specifies in the beginning that the documents and details about the the priory of sion and other such orders are real. It is vague as to which of the documents are real and which are not. It has however opened a wide range of discussion including that of `Decoding the da vinci code'.

I feel that the Book is not very true its more of fiction but it sets teh ball rolling that is its puts into motion a theory which has quite possibilty of having a hint of truth.... but we may never know wt the real truth is

I agree to with the fact that the book is quite engrossing as its fast paced.

I found the references between Catholicism and Pagan Sun worship intersting. I was discussing them with a friend. Like how they mentioned that as they were trying to convert people to the new religion, they made some of their holidays on days that were already milestones in the old religion.
I can't remember if this was discussed in Da Vinci Code or in the prequel Angels and Demons. I think I liked Angels and Demons better.

I don't think there has been any reference to the days of the religion coinciding with the type of worship and the respective earlier days. I have'nt read the book `angels and demons'...and I don't want to read it.

The groups are real but the story about them is fiction. Its called artistic lisence. You will find many novels that include real people, real events and such in them but the story is fiction.

The 'documents and details' including the Opus Dei, and the incredible description of the Louvre is real. The story, however, is completely fiction.
