Title: A laugh a minute
Product review: For an author who takes himself so dreadfully seriously, Brown unintentionally succeeds in writing one of the year's best comedies. Brown regurgitates various discounted historical theories in an incredibly amateur way, throwing misused words and tired cliches into a formulaic Scooby-Doo plotline. Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger in which Brown strategically witholds information from the reader - information that the characters already know - in order to manufacture a feeling of suspense.In addition, the prose is excessively flowery:"As Langdon stood up, Fache walked over to the spotlight and turned it off. The gallery plunged into sudden darkness. Momentarily blinded, Langdon felt a rising uncertainty. Fache's silhouette appeared, illuminated in bright purple. He approached carrying a portable light source which shrouded him in a violet haze."I literally laughed out loud at that last sentence. And, of course, a silhouette is not a silhouette if it is illuminated, but I digress.
