I think it was a little better than "The da Vinci code" (but not much). I've been wondering why books like these can become so popular, but I mentioned in an earlier post, I think it may be because they are easy to read.

I think that is it exactly. The public these days just wants to be entertained.
and due to the movies and TV expect it to be served up on a platter to consume without any effort.
I'm not saying that there is not a place for this type of written entertainment, clearly there is and I enjoy it as well in some cases -- Edgar Rice Burroughs for example.
