Dan brown is the shit

Dan Brown is a shit. That fucker rested on the laurels of The Da Vinci Code for six years before giving us another book and when he did, it barely cracks 500 pages! Six years? 500 pages? FUCK YOU DAN! Give me 600, 700 pages or more! I want to be reading this book for a couple of weeks after six years of waiting!

And don't even get me started on that shit movie...

It's the next book in my que, don't spoil it Buff. Good to hear you liked it.

I find Dan Brown kinda like Grisham and Patricia Cromwell. Rather formulaic. Same plots, same characters (some with different names), very predictable. Second book is a big hit, you read the first book because of the second book, it's good to, but a little redundant, by the time you finish the third book you get the feeling you've read it somewhere before. It's certainly a big step above pulp fiction but is still by and large junk literature.

I'll take Colleen McCollough over Dan Brown any day. Try "Morgan's Run" or "The First Man in Rome".

Since you're a political junky like me, you'll love the later.

Yes. Loved it. The "surprise" in the ending was a bit obvious to me about halfway through the book when we find out what Solomon had done when his son was in the Turkish prison...

Your way smarter than me, I was on it before I saw it.
But loved it too.
 
I thought it was crap. A huge letdown. The only saving grace, and perhaps the biggest reason a person wouldn't be able to "put it down," was the pacing. With no chapter much over ten pages and most of them only three or four, a reader is almost compelled to keep reading, if not to see what happens next, then certainly to see if Brown would give Langdon some brains. The short chapters give the illusion that the book is better than it really is. The plot was predictable and the twists obvious chapters before their revelation.

For a man who had five years to write this book, I expected more.
