Book review: The work of Dan Brown
You can imagine him, sitting at his desk with his A4 narrow-lined leather-bound notebook and his laptop and his bookshelves, tapping away at the keyboard. “The car crunched over the crunchy gravel,” he writes.“God!” he thinks. “Look at that sentence! I must be some kind of genius.”
He’s probably sold more books than God. It’s the end of the Enlightenment.
The work of Dan Brown: Man cannot live by plot alone. 3 out of 10.

No, he thinks: "Seven words. That must be, oh, about £1,400,000. Time for a fag, I'd say."

Funny. A bit harsh though. At least the subject matter is interesting.
Oh he's so annoying. The amount of times I have found myself sat/stood next to someone on the tube eagerly reading Dan Brown's work. Once I sat next to someone reading The Da Vinci Code in English, only to realise the person opposite me was reading it in Swedish (I think). What was doubly irritating was that neither of them looked up from their book at any point during the journey, so were totally unaware of the coincidence, I was dying to introduce them...
donna, that is really beautiful: their mutual love of dan brown could have transcended the language barrier, had they only looked up. lehcar, did you mean to put your work email disclaimer in there?
Dan Brown decided to follow his role model, Angela Lansbury's character in Murder She Wrote's example, and travel the world solving quasi-religious, vaguely historic because they took place in the past mysteries.
He's the moving-your-lips-when-you-read man's Indiana Jones.
