A review by lanikei
Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Henry Lincoln, Richard Leigh
2.0
I find it difficult to put this on my non-fiction shelf. But I will let that be I guess.
I learned from this book that I am descended from Jesus. That's pretty much all I got out of this.
I guess I'd already heard a lot of the conspiracy theories before, so Holy Blood, Holy Grail didn't have a lot left to offer me. I'd hoped that the illustrated edition would work as well as The Davinci Code illustrated did. But unfortunately, it was primarily text and fairly irrelevant photographs.
I guess if you're a big Grail nerd, this book has a good amalgamation of lots of different theories. But generally, I didn't find much of the "research" very compelling or well-supported, and too much of it smacked of tabloids.
