I must say that I cannot understand the hysteria related to the movie Angels & Demons, based on Dan Brown's book. Dan Brown is a shit author. Seriously.
I did read The Da Vinci Code and though it was entertaining-ish, it was not very well written - if you know what I mean. But hey, who am I to judge? He's got his books published so there's got to be something, right? So I thought I'd give Dan Brown another go and promptly bought Digital Fortress - it was worse than finding catshit in your muesli. I suffered the whole way through and left the book on the train as I did not want to be seen carrying it. I'm surprised it wasn't blown to pieces by the Security at the trainstation.
I doubt Angels & Demons will be any good and I really do hope that people will se through the hype and just don't bother buying any of his books. But I should say that Boyfriend and I do plan to buy at least one and that book will be used to threaten our [future] children with if they don't behave.
Us: "If you don't behave you will have to go to your room and read Dan Brown!"
Child: "Aaaw Mooooom! Not Dan Brown!! Pleeeeease Dad, I was enjoying Franz Kafka."
or something like that...
All I know is that Dan Brown is shit - and not the good kind.

Kafka is the shit! Dan Brown is not entertaining. 'Nough said.
I'm reading Dan Brown's 4th book at the moment and seriously couldn't put the others down. I loved them and the way he wrote them. :) It's funny how tastes differ.
It's a good thing we're not all the same!
:)
Word! I'd rather read the phone book than Dan Brown. Seriously.
