A punk angle on a century-old mystery,
This review is from: Rat Scabies and the Holy Grail (Hardcover)
So you wondered about the Grail and Rennes-le-Chateau since you've finished The Da Vinci Code? Well, how bloody difficult can it be to find an old and battered cup?Christopher Dawes didn't necessarily want to find out, until his neighbour Rat Scabies (the drummer of The Damned, a famous punk band from England - don't you remember Eloiiiiiiise?) drags him to France and goes on to find the Grail. "So many intelligent people have tried to find the Grail. All have failed. It's time the stupid people have a try. And that's where you and me come in." - something like this is Scabies' remark as to why they are looking for an artefact that has been chased through the ages. With many humorous episodes, Dawes describes his adventures with Scabies in France and elsewhere. It is an entertaining read for people who already know about the topic Rennes-le-Chateau from other books, but it also is entertaining for newcomers to the subject who refrain from reading purely scientif works like "Holy Blood, Holy Grail". You can't go wrong with this one. It's very entertaining, and also has some refreshing new ideas. For example: What kind of sex-life did Sauniere have, if any? And if you want to know how to Build Your Own Ark of the Covenant, you should either buy the book or rip out that one page at the store. Have fun with this one.

Rat Scabies and The Holy Grail,
By Esclarmonde (montgeard, haute garonne France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rat Scabies and the Holy Grail (Hardcover)
For anyone who has a basic knowledge of the Rennes-le-Chateau/Holy Grail story this is absolutely brilliant with more ideas offered than many more serious books - a lot of fun and some parts of the book are downright hilarious!

PUNK ROCKER, LEGENDS, AND BLUE APPLES,
By
This review is from: Rat Scabies and the Holy Grail: Can a Punk Rock Legend Find What Monty Python Couldn't? (Paperback)
This is just a great book, very funny, especially if you're over the grand old age of 35 and was a goth in your former life as a student. The one reason I even looked at the cover was Rat's name on it - easily spotted that one. Anyhow, it's funny, interesting, insightful and gave me all sorts of subjects to look into. On one level it's about one mad punk rocker and his mate oiking around France for something to do, which is more than entertaining. The other level is finding out more about the other side of life! Great read, again and again
