How ironic a girl whose favorite movies include PotC and Ice Age says DvC is for 8 year olds.
Oh and by the way if you really are sixteen you were 11 when A&D first came out, so it's safe to say you are full of shit.

Apologies *checks publication date*
actually i was 10 yrs old at the time, all i could remember was that i was in primary school. But 8 yrs or 10yrs old, it doesnt change the fact that a child could understand this book (angels and daemons) which i personally think was more challenging than the da vinci code.
that said im not knocking dan brown, after all hes spun a good story and got a lot of people reading who might not have otherwise. Just dont go claiming hes some great author who writes great literature becuase hes not, fact.
Your trying to say a child could understand A&D. Yeah, I would love to see a child imagine Rome and imagine the deaths that happen to the cardinals. If a child can imagine Rome as it is described in the book then the child is too smart for its own good.
And Scarecrow, Angels and Demons is fantastic, Deception Point is pretty good too.
Dan Brown is a genius. Why is he a genius? Because he confrims all of his facts before writing his books.
i stopped reading there because he admitted that his novels are complete fiction based on bits of real history
its akin to me writing a book about napolean which says that he dressed in womens clothes and invented taramasalata and the colour television
all 3 things existed....but the story made up
not to mention that his writing is perhaps 1 rung on the literary skill ladder above spot the dog
Meh meh meh... The Da Vinci code just did not meet the hype for me. It was only medicore in terms of writing style and it's "twists"... Is it odd that i saw most things coming!? It was so predictable and not at all exciting. Grr i was really disapointed...
I found all those historical tidbits interesting also, but did anyone else feel like he just copied and pasted huge chunks out of some random textbook at times? Cuz I sure did!
