Title: Say What?
Product review: Tolstoy, Doestoevsky, Dumas, Dickens and Brown? Give me a break! This forgettable piece of pulp has nothing in common with the works of those great writers. I could hardly bring myself to form a sentence (incomplete though it is) that included those five names.For those who defend the DVC because it is fiction after all, I have to say that at least half of my book club, bought the thing hook line and sinker and they are intelligent people.Brown is a hack and worse he is dishonest. Where is this guy anyway? Why doesn't he emerge from his sanctuary and answer some of his critics regarding his declared "facts" and research. Better for sales to keep the mystique alive, I suppose.Next month my bookclub selection is going to be "Crime and Punishment." The richness of Doestoevsky should, if not clean the groups collective palate, at least smother the nasty taste left by Brown's foul effort.
