Read in January, 2007
First, I'd like to say that I'm only giving this one star because I don't think it's possible to give something zero stars and still rate it.
Second of all, I haven't actually read this book. So it seems unfair for me to rate it, I'm sure. I have, however, read the first... 20 pages. And those first 20 pages contained some of the worst writing I have ever read. Everything about it was painful.
I don't think I can ever bring myself to actually read this book entirely. The thought of it makes me want to vomit continuously (into Dan Brown's smug head).
Oh, that's another thing. I don't like to be able to KNOW so clearly what a smug ass the author is. The narration is smarmy and condescending. I know that the AUTHOR of this mess thinks he's amazing and clever.
He is not.

Thank you Shannon for making me laugh and for being absolutely right about this piece of crap that happens to be the best selling book of all time after the Bible (or has it surpassed it?). (I haven't read it either but I tried and the absurdity of the writing sends my brain into endless loops searching for some logic in what is a vast morass of inanity. I seem to be physiologically unable to read drivel.)

Da Vinci Fan Club- Stop leaving comments here. If you like this book, okay. I don't. Not everyone has to like the things you like. This will happen countless other times in life. Let it go, please. I will just delete your comments. I'm not even going to bother responding anymore. Nora- A very belated thank you for your comment. "physiologically unable to read drivel"!! <3 that.
