Yeah, it's ficiton (despite what Dan Brown says) - but alot of the background he uses has been talked about in these books, such as 'The Prioy' (which was proved not to exist in that book) - Da Vinci supposedly knowing the 'truth' about Christ and hiding things in his paintings (though having said that, one of the theories is that the painting actually say that Jesus wasn't the 'chosen one' and that it was infact John The Baptist and Jesus just cashed in on it and exploited it - which is why there's a 'pointed finger' in some of the paintings (if I remember rightly)
