Yeah... not sci-fi, but ugh... I'd never read any of his work, but was recently in the library and saw an audiobook of The DaVinci Code. Remembering that it had been popular and somehow I'd missed the whole phenomena I figured that I'd listen to it to see what the hubbub had been about. It's driving me crazy. I'm finishing it because I have always hated giving up on a book, but the 'suspenseful' parts are so obvious that I just want to yell at the radio...

For example:
Spoiler:
Yes, he DID give you the account number... seriously? Was it that hard to figure out? Yeah, I guess I would have been scary to put it in knowing that you only got one chance, but did it really take that long to figure out that the numbers on the floor had something to do with the missing account number?

Is it REALLY that hard to read mirrored text? Seriously? Two professors could look at mirrored English text and not realize what they were looking at? I can read mirrored text at almost full speed, and I don't think that it's anything all that special.


Oh well... 3 CDs left... I guess I'll finish it... at least the voice actor is good. :-)
