I read the DaVinci Code the week it came out (worked in a bookstore, and they wanted employees to read it since they thought it would be a big hit). I enjoyed it, so I read his other stuff. Angels and Demons was cool, but then I read one of the other two, and realized I had just read three books that were exactly the same. Now, I perfectly OK with people enjoying a "fun" book, but he really is a poor writer, when you get down to it. I got so involved in the plot of DaVinci I didn't notice, but afterwards looking back I realized how poorly written it was.
Remind you, I read fun fluffy romance novels, so it's not a case of me being picky about literature. I hate that people elevate him to some amazing author when he isn't (and also believe what he writes in the books). I won't be reading his next book.
Also, I hear his French is atrocious.
