Title: Mindless and misleading, but addictive
Review: This book is a page turner. But:As you read this nonsense, you'll feel more and more like an idiot. At cost to your self-image, you'll go on because Brown has the tricks: like cliff-hangers at every chapter close, and intertwining story lines at key moments.Unfortunately, many (maybe most) of his "facts" and "history" are either inventions or half-truths. So there is absolutely zero learned from this read. In fact, there's less than zero, because you'll walk off with wrong ideas. Brown needn't parade fiction as fact. That's a disservice to the reader and also to Brown's profession, which should not add to the world's misconceptions, even where the main goal is entertainment.
