Only just picked up this thread, sorry, but Dan Brown ?
Perlease.......
The problem for me - and that is
not how I'd describe it - with his books, having been forced to read the first by my son, is how I could ever bring myself to ever pick up another of his tomes.
Glad to say I'm managing to stay in the same state of mind................
And the offspring has also gorn of him as well, so all's more or less right with the world.
