Title: Over-rated and poorly written
Product review: The DaVinci Code has a compelling premise but an uninspired delivery. I wonder why fans of this book don't realize how poorly written it is.Dan Brown has the same problem as his counterparts on the opposite side of the religious spectrum who write the Left Behind series -- lazy writing. Brown's characters have nothing memorable to offer. The villains are simply implausible, (a common enough problem in many current thrillers) and the violence is graphic and contrived. There are too many overtly clever riddles, the time line is ridiculous and Brown's descriptions lack impact of any kind.I do admit that I found Brown's biblical arguments interesting, which is really the only reason to read this book.
