Title: Oh, Come On!
Review: The premise of this book is intriguing, and I have to admit Dan Brown tells a good story that keeps you reading. At first I was more than willing to go with the flow of the book. I don't know much about physics, so I could accept the initial premise for the sake of a good story. The trail of clues was fun. But page after page of descriptions of fighting between Langdon and assorted bad guys became tedious. Was he writing a novel or a screenplay for a B action movie? I was also willing to suspend logic to believe that Langdon could escape multiple near-death experiences within the space of a few hours, all for the sake of a fun read. But the helicopter survival? PLEASE - GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!! Talk about ignoring the laws of physics - even I know his escape made NO SENSE whatsoever. There are so many twists with the characters that I felt manipulated, not entertained. All in all, the ending of this book totally ruins what could have been an exciting, if not very literary, read.
