Just finished the Da Vinci Code. The writing is awful. The story behind the sacred feminine is interesting, but rather than showing the sacred feminine in action, Brown writes a bad 1970s TV crime drama full of stupid plot twists that made Barretta, Mannix, and Starsky and Hutch both hilarious and nauseating. I felt like an idiot after wading through all the bad prose to get to the assinine ending.

If you want how the sacred feminine influences outcomes, check out the work of Neal Stephenson, particularly Cryptonomicon or Quicksilver.
