There is a 3-hour way to remedy that...
I found it to be a fast paced, enjoyable story. I didn't question the accuracy. I wasn't reading it for a school test. Nor was I expecting another Dickens, Homer, or Hemingway. I was expecting a good mystery/action bus-ride read, and that's what I got. I'd be interested to hear your reaction to it. It wouldn't take much time to read it. Give it a go, and let's hear what you discovered. I've since read all of Brown's other stuff. A couple were good, one was pretty poor, but only because it was too 'formula.'

You beat me to a reply on this.
I will openly admit, My son and I did enjoy reading Dan Brown's book. It wasn't great literature, but a great escape adventure. We did go on to read his others and, like you, did find some were OK and I think one was pretty meh (I don't remember which one). Sometimes you just read to escape and be on the ride (it helps when you don't have to think too much when reading too).
