Warning: Spoilers
Da Vinci Code Decoded Book is written by Tracy R. Twyman. davincicodedecoded dot com official website of the the book does reveal details and email correspondences between Miss Tywman and DisInfo CEO.

"The Da Vinci Code Decoded by Martin Lunn, an international bestseller, was essentially written by me as well -'as well' is a reference also to the paragraph before, Peter Levenda's Papal Magic book-. But at least I was in on that scam and agreed to it willingly. The publisher came to me and asked me to write it, but since I was already in a prohibitive contract with Red Wheel Weiser at the time, I couldn't take the offer. So I let one of my friends take credit as the author and I only got a 10% agent commission. Then I lost my contract with Weiser because of Boyd's Rice behavior, and that was it." Tracy R Twyman December 8, 2009 About Martin Lunn Author of Da Vinci Code Decoded:

"BTW, does Martin have a bio that I could look at" "...but, I have never seen anything written by Martin" "OK... Martin hasn't read Davinci Code yet so there's not much to talk about until he does" "Martin Lunn your experience ... is not really persuasive as to why you are THE authority on the topics in DVC." "Yes but if it could mention something about him being an expert in all things Grail, Priory, etc" From Disinfo CEO Gary Baddeley correspondences with Tracy R. Twyman

This was very painful and confusing to watch. It seemed to bounce all over the place, lacking the ability to make a strong point anywhere. The pacing is horrible. It's still on at this moment but I'm so bored, I thought that I'd rant. This piece of work looks like is was made for under $1000. (I'd bet most of that was taken up by the $700 camera and construction lights they used to light the interviews, God knows they saved nothing for post.) Whoever mad this...please choose another career. I'm not being sarcastic...I'm serious. I'm falling asleep trying to stay interested in what I thought was a fascinating subject. -bleh!

What A Mess!
CinephileMagazine20 April 2005
I can conclude that this is must-see viewing for anyone interested in how NOT to make a documentary. Although the subject matter is extremely interesting at times, the shoddy camera work, interview subjects and especially the editing make watching this a real ordeal. Authors and so-called scholars go on way too long on a topic without the director cutting to something interesting to look at. There's only so much I can stand staring at a close up of a 50 year old woman, no matter what she's talking about. And that's the frustrating thing, it could have been a really interesting documentary that would have put The Da Vinci Code in some kind of historical context. Instead it's every history buff's worst nightmare, a lecture made by a teacher with a dry and boring delivery. After seeing this documentary, I long for the pacing and excitement of Dan Brown's novel.

Great subject, strong arguments

I loved the subject and the way it makes you wonder about many things. It becomes really thrilling if you already know more about the Christian catholic religion. It doesn't go too too far in any of the discussed subjects, leaving some for you to figure out. If you are a strong believer, you will hate it. If you are in search of the truth and you're open minded, you will love it. Anyway, it sure made me wonder about many things. Sometimes history can be stranger than fiction. In the end, I must say that the artistic work should be left aside when talking about a documentary. If you want special effects, watch SF movies !!!
