Now you guys and gals have done it! After reading your comments, you are correct and I hadn't really noticed that DaVince Code and Angels and Demons were the same book! Explains why Angels & Demons was my favorite of the two. I thought Digital Fortress was pretty good too.
I'm the type of reader that likes to basically go "Brain Dead" while reading, meaning I don't want to really think I just want to be entertained, authors don't have to get too crazy to impress me. The only thing that drives me crazy is when they botch up anything to do with airplanes (note the pic) because I notice it. A good example was in Angels and Demons when Langdon jumps out of the helicopter and uses a blanket or something like it as a parachute. (It's been a while since I've read it) I just about retched, and if I hadn't really enjoyed the book up to that point and about to finish it I would of deleted it quick.
You have to admit though, that Dan Brown started a whole new "Genre" of book subjects, I wonder how many books written recently were inspired the success of DaVince Code and A & D... (But I must admit, I am getting a bit bored with the whole Templar/Lost Document that will change the world/What does the Bite in the Apple of that picture really mean thing!)
