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
