I cannot take any more news stories like this one. This is not cute anymore.
The book was crap, people!
Warmed-over goddessy putrid crap!
Oh sure, it was a page-turner. But the prose! Aaaaaeeegahhhh!
It was so bad it hurt my eyes to read it!
But it was on the best seller list for blah blah weeks you say, and besides everyone in the country has read this book and LOVED it! How can you be such a elitist snob?
How? Because I was burned before. Burned real bad.

I'm so sorry you were burned by the Bridges of Madison County. I never read it, but was equally burned by "All The Pretty Horses." I believe I am the only person who thought it was lousy. Or at least overrated. Although I was pleasantly surprised by "The Corrections," another one of those books EVERYONE reads and likes. It really was pretty good. I haven't read the DaVinci Code. I'm scared I won't like it and will feel like an elitist snob. Which isn't an entirely bad feeling, I guess.
DaVinci Code est merde absolut!
Not only is the prose something that a 3rd grader would write as you pointed out, but let's insult our intelligence further by having a "clue" that's written backwards (like, DaVinci... get it?) that stumps all the supposed top historians. Give me a break.
Tom Hanks, what are you thinking?
The Corrections is one of my all-time favorites. Best of all, the author himself is an elitist snob. Oprah chose The Corrections for her book club and he bad-mouthed it and her followers so much that she dropped him. Read it.
