Well... Read Dan Brown.
Because he doesn't do his research (or does it and then warps it so he can somehow fit it into his story), some of his works are just bad. "Digital Fortress" for example is laughable if you know *anything* about the technical side of computers at all.
Some 'facts' he states are not just simplistic (simplified versions of the real thing; which I could live with, for the sake of a readable story), nor are they mistakes or mix-ups, they are just plain *wrong*.
It was a very entertaining book and while reading it, great hilarity ensued, but it's not re-read worthy. It might have been, if Dan Brown had used someone to get the technical stuff actually *right*. It would have made the book so much better.
Still, I do read Dan Brown, just because he's entertaining, and his stuff is an easy and quick read.
