Amazon's No. 1 seller for 2013 is Inferno by Dan Brown
Quote:
A year after "Fifty Shades of Grey" overwhelmed best-seller lists, book buyers were seeking different kinds of thrills.

Dan Brown 's latest Robert Langdon caper, "Inferno," was Amazon.com's No. 1 seller for 2013, the online retailer announced Monday. Khaled Hosseini was second with "And the Mountains Echoed." The best-sellers for kids and teens were Veronica Roth's "Allegiant" and Rick Riordan's "The Houses of Hades."

Other major hits on Amazon.com were "The Cuckoo's Calling," a crime story J.K. Rowling wrote under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, and John Grisham's "Sycamore Row." Sylvia Day's "Entwined With You" was one of the few works of erotic fiction to place high on Amazon's list. Nonfiction favorites included Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" and "Things That Matter," an anthology of essays by conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer.

I like Dan Brown. I don't care how much he "bends the truth", his books are entertainment

Agreed, I find his books very entertaining.

I didn't think 'Inferno' was that good a read myself. Although Dan Brown's novels are definitely worth reading, they are usually good entertainment.

I find it a bit surprising, but then again I don't think there were any real big block buster best sellers this year. Brown is, IMPO, one of those authors who had one really good book, and the rest ok books, but not particularly great. But once you get a reputation, people buy your books.

I usually like Dan Brown, but for some reason Inferno just didn't hold my attention. I returned it to the library 30% read.

Certainly not "great literature", but the man knows how to write a "page turner". I've enjoyed all his books.

I was so disgusted with "Angels and Demons" I never read another. Fantasy isn't my genre.

But, the news does reinforce my opinion of best seller lists and popular appeal.

I've read the Da Vinci Code. Meh. The whole concept was ludicrous. As if any evidence could ever change religious people's minds about their religion.

I seriously doubt that was what he was trying to accomplish. They were written for entertainment pure & simple. As were the movies.
