I'll be honest and say I actually enjoyed Angels & Demons, and the Da Vinci Code to a lesser extent. I mean, they're hilariously far from reality and whatever the exact opposite of historically accurate is, but they had good pacing, fun puzzles and a nice sense of suspense. A&D went a bit far over the top in the last stretch and TDVC fizzled out a bit, but they were fairly solid fun, provided you did not at any point take them seriously. They're not bad books. I've read so much worse.

I also didn't mind Eragon so much. The first one, anyway. It's paint-by-numbers fantasy, but I spent my teenage years reading nothing but paint-by-numbers fantasy. It was only the later books where Paolini's severe lack of characterisation skills started to really grate on me.

Honestly, things don't really need to be great works of art for me to read them. They just need to be solid and engaging enough for me to pass a couple of hours. I think a lot of people are probably like that as well.
