Dan Brown

Dear Dan Brown,

Your novels are trite and see through. Why are the "villians" or "bad guys" in your novel so transparent. You might like to think no one sees the twist coming, but everyone does. Your dialogue is awful. You push pseudo science, you steal ideas from other people and their research and pass it off innovate and amazing new knowledge. The human soul has weight. This is from an experiment that was done in 1907, and more recently the title of a movie from several years.

Your settings are interesting. You do seem to pick out obscure locals, buildings, and items of interest. However often you dive into too much mundane detail. The character of Robert Langdon has lost all interest to me. While I found the concept behind The Da Vinci Code interesting, it wasn't my first exposure to the concept. The premise of The Lost Symbol is ridiculous. Listening to the book all the way through (I had the audiobook) annoyed me. Especially the ending. It went on and on. Remember how Return of the Kings had 9000 endings, Peter Jackson just went on and on with it. The Lost Symbol was the same. Except less poignant, and it seemed to think it was all revealing and interesting.

Please stop writing books. You bore me, and your plot lines are awful.

Sincerely (oh and he cleverly explains where we get the ending sincerely from),
AJ
