I reckon he is an awesome author.

Have recently read Angels and Demons, the Da Vinci Code and Deception point and have got Digital Fotreee, which I am currently reading. The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are bestsellers and am thinking of geeting illustrated editions of them. They are all excellent thrillers and they are enjoyable reads. Dan Brown would be very close to the best author in the world at this moment.

Just posting to know if anyone has read The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deception Point and Digital Fotress and their thoughts.

I read Da Vinci Code....



was distinctly unimpressed. Seemingly written to be made into a movie so each "chapter" is a page and a half, every chaper is a 'cliffhanger' so there was always action happening...i would prefer a bit more character and plot development. And as for people who take it all so seriously.....they are seriously misguided

His alternate theory for the Holy Grail was fascinating...but the characters, plot and writing were nothing special. Certainly not of the standard of greats like Clancy and Ludlum.

 

[Mr X]

Author who dumrbs everything down.
Allows everything to be answered and wrapped up, meaning the reader has to do no thinking to work out what has gone on.
Great for selling books, but essentially selling out to the masses.

Also, I have read three books of his, and if you have read one, plot wise, you have read them all.

Good luck to him. He is going to end up very, very rich.

Digital Fortress was ordinary, but the other 3 were very enjoyable reads. Apparently he is working on a sequel to the DVC, which is hardly surprising considering its success, looking forward to that.

The characters in the Da Vinci Code where as one dimensional and wooden as my grandpappy's whittle'n stick!

Actually reading about Gnosticism and its symbolism, is far more interesting, and shocking, than the Da Vinci Code!
