The fact that people feel that they have to constantly analyze or criticize his books have created more publicity and money for him than anything else could have done and he's laughing to the bank. I don't love him, I don't hate him, I'm just amazed at the amount of time and energy over the uproar

With his previous work he was like fast food or a good summer blockbuster, not something you would want all the time, but fine for a change from your usual.
This latest one sort of feels like he couldn't really be bothered with it, while his work was never great, the earlier stuff did have a good pace to it, but this one sort of trudges along checking off the required parts of a dan brown novel as it goes.
