***Did you admire him before _The DaVinci Code_ became an enormous best seller?***
Yup, Dennis. I'd read all his other books, and his *Da Vinci* grabbed me because I've long been interested in the various Christ bloodline legends and church history and intrigue. He always turned in a decent enough job, and his strict formula sold. This time, though, he's fallen flat on his face. I suspect very little editorial intervention was allowed ... though the result cries out for total revision. The book reads like a very poor and rough first draft. N
