I’m afraid Pikey is right.
I read the Da Vinci Code, and then tried to read another one, and got half way through and had to stop. Too samey. He is a one trick pony, but the Da Vinci Code is a rip off of a book called the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail anyway.

The fact that Dan Brown’s books are bestsellers has no bearing on this then?@minim wrote:

Thanks for clearing that up.
Your apology is accepted. lol.You are very welcome.. but don’t expect it to become habit forming.
Ive read them all, and treat them as they are… FICTION. no more no less, but I love the conversations they provoke. Da vinci was no where near as good as Angels and Demons, and I would urge any of you to read that, the scenery and images that it provokes are brilliant. Im not a great critiquer of books other than saying they are shit or good. But that was a good read if you take it for what it is.
Ive even read Sam Bourne who people compare him to, he did a fantastic one about the Jewish community living in America, absolutely brilliant read.
If I find a book a waste of time I dont carry on with it, but I give most a chance if people think they are worth it, but Im not a deep reader anymore.
Internet killed the reader in me.
I used to devour books, read at least one a week for ages, but i haven’t found one to get my teeth into for a while. I have read a few biographies and autobiographies and get on better with those at the moment.
Books are like music, very personal choices. I guess it is wrong to criticise someone else’s choices, but Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code irritated me. He did make a huge heap of money though, and good luck to him.
