Maybe I'm coming in on this a little late, but I read the Da Vinci Code a little while ago. I liked it; I thought the theology was cool, the bad guys were cool, the science was cool. The only little problem I had was that Langdon seemed to have almost no personality and his relationship with women was rediculious. At any rate, I thought to myself, "Hey I should read Angels and Demons also." Now this is were things really went to hell in a hand basket. The last line of the novel still rings in my ears "You've never been to bed with a yoga master..." AAAAA! Who is this Dan Brown and why is he such a horrible writer?! I just had to get this out there: that I see Dan Brown as a great academic and very knowledgable of the things he writes about, but also as maybe the most cliched, amature writer today. With all the fuss over the Da Vinci Code, I just wanted to know if other people are experiencing this, or if I'm a snobby ass (or maybe a little bit of both).
