Two more unsuccessful retreads of Shakespeare's immortal Much Ado about Nothing.

As ever, it depends on whether one sees the film before reading the book, or reads the book before seeing the film.

Ok, I'm obviously blind. Where are the books you all talk about?

They're easily found in most on-line book stores. Waterstones have them in the UK in epub format and Smashwords have them available in many formats. You should try them and let us know what you think.

What really bugged me: why didn't they publish the first serie right away in an ebook- version. I honestly admit I made do with a pirated one. What was my choice? Everyone talking about it and I couldn't get it overseas; due to geographical restrictions.

I still think the author created such a blank slate that he must be commended for rewriting the way we look at books, who would have thought we could all read the same book and have such different reactions to them.

Well, as I said, I listened to the first series as audiobooks. The other one, though? I'm not about to commit to such a complicated read unless the author can be trusted to follow up with the next book in something under, say, 4 or 5 years. I hate waiting so long for the next book!

I felt safe reading these in public - didn't care if someone was looking over my shoulder.

Pssst, wanna know where to steal them from on the darknet?

I'll let you in on a secret - they contain a coded message from Da Vinci himself ! I'm working on deciphering it, but it's not going well...

Email them to Dan Brown - he'll decipher it for you - and then publish it!

Mortis · 03-15-2011, 12:47 PM

No, no, not Dan himself, he doesn't research anything himself, send it to his researchers. They did such a good job on his other books

I believe that the clue to trying to solve the puzzling hypothesis which the

author has placed before us, is actually deciphering the planetary positions

at the time in which the events occured.

A very clever twist, in my opinion.

Plus the hollow earth theory.

Cheers

Egad ... you're so right nohmi ... these are the perfect books to read while inside the hollow earth!
