I read Da Vinci Code in both English and Chinese.
I like his "easy" English, as if especially meant for foreigners.
The Chinese translation is pretty bad, as most of the translations of popular fictions today in China.

I've found certain authors that I literally cannot force myself to read in English, but really enjoy reading in Hungarian. In such cases, I (kind of have to) assume that somehow the translator managed to make the book even better than the original...
