Aw shucks! I wanted to trash Dan Brown but it seems others have already done it. Cool review and links!

That first link is brilliant Michael.
I got through a couple Brown books, just to be in the loop about what people were talking about, but is was painful. His writing style defends itself against being read.

I read The Da Vinci Code in about 2005; it was worth 2-Stars when I loaded my books in GR in 2011. Since then I've tried and dnf'd four other Brown books and won't consider any more.

More people should know about this book.
Kudos to you for your statement "His writing style defends itself against being read."We've all encountered books that merit such a designation â€� I came across a couple examples quite recently. Not wishing to torture myself with such tomes, I usually just abandon them, remove the record of their existence from my Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ list and pretend the episode never happened.
life is too short to waste time on such books
