I loved The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons, though I would never say that I thought that either were anything but based in fact. I don't think I'd go to St. Sulpice and believe that a nun was killed there by an albino monk named Silas. However, the theories he's covering are very interesting, and have been widely researched for the most part. I couldn't put the book down when I read it initially, and I have read it quite a few more times since buying it. So I chose to research some on my own. I find the Gnostic Gospels and the Priory of Sion fascinating, and there has been speculation that the Holy Grail is, indeed, not a chalice. So I loved it.
There are things that are there for entertainment. I enjoy them for their entertainment aspect. I have a degree in history, and I could easily not like these books, but they weren't meant to teach you history. They were meant to entertain, and if your interest is piqued, then research it some more.
