Dan Brown
After watching Angels and Demons, I realized the metaphor for Dan Brown’s works.
Reading his books is like being driven in a Ferrari at high speed, and then ending up at a McDonald’s.
The ride is amazing, but the payoff is disappointing. All the twists and turns and suspense don’t build up to anything except your getting a soggy hamburger. So enjoy the ride, and try not to dwell on how it all ended up.

Very nicely said. Dan Brown’s stories are a fun ride, fun, but historically way inaccurate. Nothing to get too worked up over. *said by the history geek who had to point out every historical untruth in Disney’s “Pocahontas” to her 5 yr old daughter.*

Totally agreed. We hated that movie. I only read his first book…quick and fun but nothing to write home about
