Did you admire him
before _The DaVinci Code_ became an enormous best seller?
I heard fairly reliable rumors that his US publisher was about to drop him from contract, as sales of his previous books were underwhelming.
Of course, the success of The DaVinci Code made him a darling of the industry, and I've no doubt the new book will do well. There are always arguably bad books on the best seller lists because they are seen as "good reads" by those who buy them.
