Have you read this? https://onehundredpages.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/dont-make-fun-of-renowned-dan-brown/
I have now!
I noped out about page 3 where the author wrote 'world famous symbologist.'
I knew there was no such word,
This is in my discarded drafts; I thought I was the only one
It's far from the worst book I've read, but it's the worst that's been recommended to me by someone I'd listen to.
I managed one page and gave up. Dreadful stuff.
I read it and then the other three that were out at the time (Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons I think and something else I can't remember) because I was morbidly curious. Four physical books. Apart from the general awfulness Brown tried to cover up with frenetic pacing, the biggest thing I noticed was that even though there were four books, there were effectively only two stories, just repeated with different character names.
Ha ha, amazing! I salute your fortitude in getting through them all 😁
I threw it across the room after 5 pages. Utter crap.
I bought the illustrated version in high school because I was taking an art history class and liked looking at the pretty paintings. The story itself did not leave any impression on me lol
