as seen in PC Gamer's review of The DaVinci Code
In the September issue, Kristen Salvatore writes about the adventure game adaptation of the film:
I confess that I'm something of a literature snob, so it isn't easy for me to admit I enjoyed a mainstream book like The Da Vinci Code - I love that it's rooted in factual historical mysteries unlocked with factual historical information.
Except that it isn't. I guess it was wrong to assume that Brown's detractors had actively slagged both the book and the film enough over the past three months to get people to start thinking clearly, pointing out that the basis for most of his novel was either entirely fiction or a pseudo-historical text that had been written simply to support some religious crackpot theory. But factual? Come on, a literature snob would have at least done a little casual research before making a statement like that.
