Eh. To be fair, the movies are probably more watchable than the books are readable - they still have the dumb plot twists, but if you can see that coming, at least you don't have to deal with the prose.

And hey, there are worse reasons to want to watch things.

Dan Brown is a notoriously terrible writer who somehow keeps getting published. Who else is in that category? Ludlum?

[(Anonymous)]

Never have I so strongly wanted to red pencil a professional novel. His writing style was that painful.

VINDICATION!

(Seriously, one of my friends called me a snob because I said the exact same thing. I tried to explain to her that editing my own work had trained me to see the flaws everywhere, but I don't think she really believed me.)

[(Anonymous)]

People like that annoy me a little. I think it's because they're unable to detect any flaws, so that means there aren't any - or at least, no appreciable amount. Anyone who claims to see flaws has to be wrong or snobby, because they can't admit that such people are catching more mistakes than they are.

I read Digital Fortress once. I'd say the author it reminds me of most is Eric Van Lustbader, although Lustbader has a lot more sex. You could also compare Richard K. Morgan, but he at least has some idea of how to structure a paragraph.

[(Anonymous)]

There's a buttload of authors like that, and they're quite easy to find if you look around for instance an airplane bookstore; Brown is notable mostly for the fact that, for some reason, the world decided to take him really seriously for a year or two.

The book was ten times better. I HATED how they just...shied away from the morally grey ethics ending of the book.

His writing style is generic, but I liked that ending.
