Historical fiction, yes. But even historical fiction generally has most of the historical facts correct with additional fictional characters. The Da Vinci Code has fictional characters set in a fictional historical framework. Something that had (at least some) clergymen all up in arms.
btw, I actually enjoyed The Da Vinci code. I could mostly tell what was fiction and what was not. The Da Vinci Fraud provides a more thorough explanation of The Da Vinci Code's made up "facts."

How was this? I'm a supply chain management major and have heard it referenced quite a bit. I'm going to start it this weekend.

I still don't get what the big deal is. Dan Brown wrote a work of fiction, loosely based on some historical stuff.
Or is this "Da Vinci Fraud" book just for people who are too dumb to know that fiction = not real?

A pretty good book, even though the story was just okay. It's more of a management "how to" book than a novel. The storyline seems to be an excuse to convey management lessons. It's all about bottlenecks in a work environment, and how to best allocate resources to maximize throughput.How was this? I'm a supply chain management major and have heard it referenced quite a bit.

Highly recommended for CFB fans. Just a few chapters in and you will loath Lane Kiffin and the SEC even more. A lot of troubling numbers about the dollars in the sport too...98 out of the 120 FBS schools lose money, and an average of $91k is spent per student athlete, over 5x what is spent on a regular student.
