[face=Comic Sans MS]A writer who gets away with writing a readable but avereage novel and makes a lot of money from doing so.

Considered by some to be a literay giant and by others to be a literary fraud.

Able to combine historical fact and fiction in such a way that the reader confuses the two.

May have a grip on historical time but no concept of real time as many of his plot travel scenarios are impossible - unless of course he has a Tardis like Dr. Who's.

Dr. Who - your question is what exactly?[/face]

Couldn't agree more with Hepzi.
Dan Brown is Umberto Eco wanna be and not a very good one

Well for such a high profile launch I assumed the masses would want to comment say as in the X factor or Big Brother.
Just finished reading it and I thought not bad another page turner, hopefully it will cause people to 'think at least for the duration of their immersement.
The most poignant set of words that struck me were: (To manifest an intention requires laserlike focus, full sensory visualization, and a profound belief.) "in oneself, & ones ability and of course practice"
As it states on my watch-face 'E Pluribus Unum ......

Dr Ragab's Universal Language is superior but will be less read.

WEll, as some members of this forum know, I am a Mason, and I can say that his portrayal of the Order is essentially correct.

Having said that, his latest work, like his others, is ENTERTAINMENT!!!!

It's not just on this forum but so many people seem to get their knickers in a twist over Dan Brown's work.

All I can say is - get over it - it's entertainment!!!!

Best to all,
Scott

Nicely put Scott you are right, im reading it now and it is just that, Entertaining ,as are so many other Fictional works by so many other authors

Scrape away the entertainment study hard for many years and reach attainment, the higher one climbs the more one can see.......
