My problem with Dan Brown is this: he tries to package himself as Umberto Eco, Elaine Pagels and Don DeLillo. All in one but unfortunately, for Dan Brown, he isn't any one of the three. He isn't even close. I read The Da Vinci Code (all the while with [pardon the pun] echo's of Eco ringing in my head) and immediately gave the book away (an action I don't engage in very often). Unfortunately, Ron Howard is making this into a movie and I think it will do huge buisness. "There is no accounting of taste....."
