Well I believe that people have been referred to as sheep / flocks , in matters of religion.........perhaps that's what makes some so prone to being gullible ? |

Or on the other hand, her editor and agent cannot be seen not to believe her claim, they are after all in the business of selling books, and not supporting an author in her delusional theory will result in the failure to sell. They are not supporting the author...they are supporting the possible best-seller, and the money it will bring them. As long as it is sold as fiction, rather than fact, there will be less fall-out from society and the churches...although the latter forgot completely that The DaVinci Code was actually fiction, not even posing as fact. |

Absolutely Sue....what a golden opportunity for them, produce a not terrible good book, at the same time leaking enough information about the author's intent to cause controversy at the time of release.... |

Mammidau, Dan Brown's book sold because it was perhaps marketed in a different way by the publishers...with the intention of controversy to boost sales. Second to that, the film rights were sold fairly quickly, and that is when the book sales really took off. |

In my opinion all religion is baloney, so that makes this sarcastic thread moot and I'll play no further part in it |

Wrong thread Welshy, we're not talking religion per se on here, but book sales and what makes a controversial fiction based on religion into a best seller. Perhaps you could try reading a little more than the title... |
