Harry: I'm no literary snob and certainly have no downer on a productive scribe like Dan Brown. I always admired him as a hard-working wordsmith, a down-table craftsman who turned in the goods and did the job to a winning formula. I'm afraid that this time, he didn't cut the mustard. Sadly, his publishers have decided to make this weak book the 'publishing event of all time'. I'm sure Brown and his readers could nominate better candidates even from his very small body of work. His other thrillers thrilled ... this one doesn't. It is -- as has been said before here -- un- or badly-edited tripe. A complete waste of reading time. Having said that, I'm sure he'll turn out something better next time. He has the wit. Neil
