And did I say - you will cry, scream and would sadly ignore your instinct to save your time time (rather shud hv given up at 150 pages)<br /><br />Im so pissed, that I want every believer to waste their time and cry ... And I thought Digital fortress was Crap and I wasted my money & time.<br /><br />I think either Dan Brown hired someone else to write the da vinci code or he is admitting now (by en-cashing one last time his brand) that he is not a writer. Or his 'outsourced' writer is dead or something. And publishers, editors etc. etc. - Mr Dan Brown - those are some lame notes, go back home. This is not a book. do something for a 2-3 yrs, maybe what writers do and then build a "story" - lets see then, maybe.<br /><br />You were warned !!!Simplified Views - Life and Workhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291535704945508282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-82090463576753461632009-09-06T13:54:17.525-07:002009-09-06T13:54:17.525-07:00I don't think I'll be reading any more of ...I don't think I'll be reading any more of his books.

The filum that followed was a complete wasted 90 minutes of my life, as was the sequel book.
