Yeah. People will buy anything about Nicholas Flammel <vbg>

Seriously. ...fast-paced adventure stories set in exotic locales and full of
fascinating minutia usually find an audience.  I 've read DVC only once.
It was a bit of a giggle,  as an art history minor, but I found the puzzles
disappointingly simple and as for  the supposedly scandalous revelations,
the assertions of conventional Christianity are far more challenging, 
from my Jewish pov, than anything in Brown.
