The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown. I’ll say upfront that I’ve become a Dan Brown loather over the years since this first hit the bestseller list. It’s just inconceivable how such a poorly written thriller has gained such notoriety on such an old premise. Heresy and bad prose with worse pacing; I have read worse mind you, but none so bafflingly well-sold. Angels & Demons, while not stellar, is markedly better, and may appeal to fans of the throwaway beach genre.
