4 out of 5 Shovels
On the heels of Angels and Demons, the Discovery Channel has put together an interesting fact or fiction segment. The show goes point by point- novel versus reality as Angels vs. Demons.
A drive through Rome's streets and a walk amongst the churches, Dan Brown has constructed an impressive route. From Bernini statues to obelisks, we follow the Path to Enlightenment. Direction of the mind, body, and soul is conceived in the writing.
Discovery determines where fact ends and fantasy begins. Conspiracy theories abound in the story. Many of us have already figured most of those theories out. Some were not so obvious.
The show was thoughtful and entertaining, well worth the time spent. If you're into conspiracy theories or Dan Brown novels, then this foray will not disappoint.
Until the next book hits the shelves, this imaginative view of fiction gives us more then a few facts for us to think about. Why, we ask?
To have a show illuminate the truth from a write of fiction, it seems like overkill. The popularity of the books are one reason. The next reason is to dispel darkness from certain religious affiliations. Perhaps the last reason is to curtail Dan Brown fans from flooding Rome- the Italians don't have the route signs up yet. Or, maybe it's something else . . .
All this information to protect a church? What kind of conspiracy theory would Dan Brown label that as?
