The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, is focused on adventure - as the theme. The Da Vinci Code, like other novels, begins with an introduction to the problem and the characters. From there, the story unfold into a nose dive into the depths of the unknown and, sometimes, unexplored. Robert Langdon, the main protagonist, goes through an adventure to find the killer of the grandfather of Sophie Neveu - his companion. Through the novel, Langdon deciphers clues to get closer to the truth about Neveu's heritage and what her very existence means to the Catholic Church. Brown wrote this novel in segments that make the story resemble that of a movie in which the audience is at the situation of one character and is then shifted to that of another. Through this, one can see the way each character's personality is different and how each character has their own motivation to take a certain action.
I enjoyed reading this book as it was hardly boring or slow and the by the way Dan Brown wrote this piece of writing - resembling that of a movie - he makes it difficult for a reader to want to take a break.
Why were so many Catholics upset about this book - and its movie - when it is a work of fiction?

Catholics feel offended about the degrading of Mary as the "holiest" women of all times, for the reason of bearing Jesus. Dan Brown compares Mary equal to Mary Magdalen, the adulterer, who the Catholics view as incomparable.
