yeah, i actually started laughing at his style halfway through. most chapters ended with a phrase stolen from a 6th grader's creative writing assignment. and he loves lists almost as much as he love cliches. when describing something, he is sure to give a nice grocery list of the various parts. hey dan, show don't tell, remember?
and (toward the end) when he starts going off on a convoluted vision quest..."the rose. the compass rose. the rose line. the ancient prime meridian. rosaline. under the rose - sub-rosa. sabrosa. mary magdeline, her legend carried throughout history, from leonardo da vinci to the little mermaid. what is this mysterious writing? oh, it's reverse english! ps: find robert langdon...etc, etc..." i had to take some knee-slapper breaks.
doesn't the louvre use liquid soap?
