SSBM Masta13:
Isaac Asimov and Douglas Adams will probably be the icons for sci-fi and British humor in a couple decades.

TheFuriousWombat:
I pride myself on the fact that I have never so much as touched a copy of "The Da Vinci Code."

Wayfaring Stranger:
It was seriously over-hyped.  Fun for what it was worth, but that was only about an afternoon's worth of time.  Incredibly predictable.

agreed. very poorly written, the story itself was fun, but kinda mindless and predictable. Angels and Demons was slightly better IMO, but still rather forgettable. And his earlier shit is godawful. I read Deception point and Digital Fortress one summer when I was incredibly bored at work and read my coworker's copies. They're seriously horrible. The main thing that pisses me off about Dan Brown's stuff isn't that he's a horrible writer, but that he presents a lot of complete bullshit as fact. I know he's got the disclaimer at the front of the books, but 90% of people reading it still spout his artistic license bullshit as the gospel truth.

gospel truth... heh....
