Dan Brown’s book rating.
If we take an intelligent detective, for example, Umberto Eco as a unit of reference, then Perez-Reverte will be zero, and Dan Brown will be minus one. And, nevertheless, it is insanely popular, high-budget colorful films are shot on it, and the number of publications on the store's bookshelf is really impressive.
"Angels and Demons" is the first part of the trilogy about Robert Langdon, so, perhaps, I will dance from it. What is the secret of this comrade's popularity?
Brown is not a writer, by no means. This is a rather stubborn graphomaniac with a good knowledge of marketing psychology, so he knows exactly what people want to buy. Do you want worldwide conspiracies, secret communities and more "intellectuality" so that the reader feels like he is involved in mystical secrets? Please watch on TV ...
I don't even know if it makes sense to write a review of this book. All my thoughts about Brown as an author I have already written in the epitaph to "Angels and Demons", but about the novel itself there is almost nothing more to add ... Because this is the same novel, only slightly shrunken in size.
Well, judge for yourself. The same heroically dumbish Robert Langdon, who is pulled forward by an energetic attractive lady throughout the novel by the sleeve (though this time it is different, and the description of what happened to the first one is rather crumpled and stupid: "We never called each other", yeah). We replace the Illuminati with the Templars and Opus Deyu (which I stubbornly perceive as "Oh! Puzdeyu!"), An aggressive nutty Arab for an aggressive crazy albino, a dumb chief of the guard (who locks someone in a room with a phone) for a dumb ...
So, Dan-not-for-night-be-remembered-Brown returns with a new, fourth in a row in the Bond film of the adventures of Professor Langdon. Well, what, not only pumped-up males save the world, we also need an intellectual hero. Only now the patterns are still the same, and the result is again the same serialism, divorced from reality, stubbornly ignoring the realities of its own past parts. To be honest, I am already a little annoyed by the fact that in each new book, Brown completely ignores the events of the previous one. Looking ahead, the reality of Langdon after the events of this part is changing very much, I wonder how Brown will react to this. Because you have to react in different ways, the serial format obliges.
Seriality, in fact, is not a problem yet. After the "Lost Symbol", my credit of trust to the author ...
After reading the book, I found one fascinating article on the Internet. It was about the fact that when the film was released, priests stood right in front of the c Dan Brown’s book rating. inema with posters: "I looked at the Da Vinci Code - I sold Christ."
What can I say? Oh, those religious fanatics! :) No wonder the book has so many negative reviews. Probably, these are the same priests, having come home, threw the posters aside and began to pour out their purely Orthodox anger on the innocent author. For me, such a reaction from people is not new. Even in the book itself, this topic was repeatedly touched upon. The Church sees a sinner in a scientist, teacher and any other scientific figure. Respected "unholy saints" believe that apart from faith there can be nothing in ...

Here is Professor Robert Langdon, a dandy, dressed in a tweed jacket, He does not steal wheat, which is stored in a dark closet, but, on the contrary, strongly strives to understand and penetrate into the book that Dante wrote.
And here is Sienna Brooks, a girl, seven spans in the forehead, And a craftswoman to get into alterations in Rome, the capital. She also does not lag behind Professor Langdon, a dandy, dressed in a tweed jacket, Who does not steal wheat, which is stored in a dark closet, And, on the contrary, strongly strives to understand and penetrate into the book that Dante wrote.
And here is a woman with silver hair. What does she want - ask her yourself, Who is mated with Siena Brooks, a girl, ...
I often write my reviews, timed to coincide with some date, this has already become a kind of tradition. Today I also found a noteworthy event that happened on this day - October 2 - only 92 years ago. Then, in 1928, the Prelature of the Holy Cross and the Work of God was founded in Madrid, better known in the world as Opus Dei - the Work of God. The official goal of this organization is to help believers find holiness
