Title: A Pleasant Time-Waster
Product review: The Da Vinci code is, as they say, "a good read." That's about the best that can be said of it. I think Dan Brown's writing is cliched, stilted, and heavy-handed, and his characters are transparent stereotypes. But there is no denying he can weave a story that holds your attention, like -- well -- Robert Ludlum or someone of that ilk. A "good read," but not great literature.
