Simpletons need not answer. People that can count the number of books they have read with their fingers need not answer. People who enjoy the majority of New York Times best sellers (oh wait I already mentioned simpletons) need not respond.
I am already sure I will get flamed to hell for my negative comments toward Dan "the hack" Brown and his poorly written pages that somehow evolved into books.
For the record I have read The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons. After reading these two works I demand two things: First, an answer as to how so many "so-called" human beings could enjoy Dan Browns literature and second, my completely wasted time.
I understand that the majority of America does not read much more than their work requires and the billboards that encompass their city (That is why I requested at the beginning of my post their needlessness to reply) but for those that consider themselves avid readers I lack the understanding to see what they are fond of in Brown's works.
His character writing is laughable. It bleeds through the pages that Robert Langdon, protagonist, is the man Brown would like to be. The women that follow in his stories are so two dimensional that one can forget at times that they are even in the story.
Because the characters are so weak the plots that are based off of them is even shallower and less believable.
Most proponent of the author always mention first that his books are based upon real places, statues, etc. This point clearly is not an answer for the question debating the quality of literature but is the response I most commonly receive.
So please, explain the greatness of Dan Brown to me?
