Nazis with jet-packs are uberslick
Da Vinci code needs a poke up the arse with a (muffled).
Seriously.
I was excessively disappointed.
After all the hype, I somewhat belatedly read The Da Vinci Code. And yes, I was expecting it to read something like a Matthew Riley book - all action, no thought provocation.
I wasn't expecting it to be the most stimulating books around, but I thought it might live up to the hype in a sort of blockbuster way - all bash and no brain.
I cannot begin to explore the levels of shiteness of this (and I would've gone for something intellectual, but I'm getting all worked up) so I'll settle for shiteing shiteness.
It may have been provocative - except he made a reasonable amount up, and what wasn't made up was based on what other people had made up. The writing style! (Apologies to all those who have already heard me rave). Each chapter attempted to be a cliff hanger - read: each chapter was horribly, utterly disjointed.
Rat Scabies and the quest for the holy grail was much better.
How much better?
Bout a fousand!
No.
Bout a googleplex.
No more bestsellers for me.
