I read the Da Vinci Code and thought it was terrible. They get a couple of 'mysteries', which the reader solves in a couple seconds, and then the characters take AGES to get the answer. I found it really annoying, mostly because they portray Langdon and Neveu as intelligent persons. And the information. All those conspiracies and history and... was it correct? I thought that apostle on the painting looked like a female because he was young.
One of the worst novels I've ever finished. Will not try Dan Brown again.

Well the whole: "Jesus had a wife" thing is kind of unprovable, but Dan Brown is a terrible researcher. And I'm sure Sentynel can rant for pages about Digital Fortress, if asked. ![]()

Digital Fortress is so funny. Rotating cleartext ciper. Priceless.
Also I have no idea why he used the plot point of the Fat Man nuke using uranium instead of the plutonium the characters thought it used. Which is completely false, it did use plutonium o_O![]()

Awww... please Senty? Do a rant!

My post earlier in the thread contains everything I wish to say on the subject. (From 2008, wow.) Any further comment would require thinking about the book more, and I'd rather not.
