Review title: Where was the proof reader?
Product review: Reviewers seem to love or hate this book. Those who loved it, were impressed by the techno-babble and enjoyed the action. The rest of us realized what nonsense Dan Brown wrote whenever he strayed into any technical area (not just cryptology) and found the characterizations thin and the plot predictable.My question is, how can Mr. Brown have so little pride in his work? Many of the technical/scientific errors would have been trivial to correct. Did he not even bother to have it proof read by someone with even minimal computing/science knowledge?
