Negative Positive
Title: perhaps the worst-written bestseller of all time?
Review: I struggled through the ludicrous and risible, far-fetched and preposterous Da Vinci Code, then thought I would give this author one more chance, despite the horrendous and mind-numbing dead weight of his cliche-laden writing style, by trying this book. Big mistake. It is quite possibly the worst-written book I've ever read. I struggled, waded, crawled and staggered my way through it. Then when I finished it - what a relief - I opened the window and threw the book out into the street. I'm very glad to say it was raining at the time. I will never read another word written by this author again. Yet, strangely, the book left me mildly optimistic: if a bestselling author can dredge up this dross, and write so appallingly badly, and get away with it, then surely there is hope for all of us.
