Well, but you have to account, that some may have disagreements with statements such as : "If you are not counting on violence and sex, you will definitely count more on your brain. A great plus for Mr Dan Brown."
Or, with implying, that the disdain some show for Dan Brown, must be because of the apocryphal elements in his stories.
Or, the claim, that Dan Brown provides better thrills, than Umberto Eco (who is left to console himself with the title of "great scholar.")
Plus, even the "Harder To Put Down" part of the title, invites value judgements, including some which may be construed as put-downs....
P.S. Oh, and in fairness to dog poop, I must admit that picking up after my dog does not give me the urge to take a shower, but reading the "great talent" Dan Brown did.
