Hey everyone, I am about half way through reading Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and am reallt enjoying it! I also loved The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons. Am I crazy?? I am a final year Theology and English student for God's sake! Everyone tells me how Dan Brown is a sensationalist writer and nothing more, and that…

Like most people said already, only one way to find out, read his books!!

Personally, when i was getting into reading books and i read Da Vinci Code, i thought it was brilliant. Its so easy to read, definitely a page turner and loads of twists and turns. I continued to read his other books over the years, they were ok. Between his books i was reading other books as well and everytime i read one of his new ones it was a huge drop in quality from the other books i was reading. Like people mentioned, it was the same thing over and over. When i got to The Lost Symbol i just lost all interest, that book was such rubbish. Maybe i would feel the same way about Da Vinci Code if i read it again, but man i hated that book.

The way i see it, his books are quickies, something you read over a boring weekend when there is nothing else to read.
They're like Van Damme or Seagal movies.
