Title: Interesting ideas overshadowed by bad writing
Product review: I like a of the ideas put forth in Dan Brown's books.They're INTERESTING. Something to tickle the imagination, get the brain working a bit, in directions perhaps it does not normally go.But he's really not a very good writer of fiction.I read this, all the while thinking that the interesting ideas, in the hands of a competent writer of thrillers, would have really given me a greater pay-off.His action is not very compelling, there are far too many cliff hangers, and his characters are largely uninteresting or simply not believable.As a thriller, Da Vinci Code is not very...thrilling.I certainly had no problem putting the book down each night, which is just not the case when I'm immersed in a well-written thriller.I could post the same review for his other books, they're all of same quality, writing-wise, but find this behavior cheesy in others.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
