That is when I decided to read him, haha. I guess I thought it was less about him and more about the fact that people love both bible and illuminati conspiracies. Like the people I knew who actually liked his work spent most of that era desperately trying to convince people to read his tech-thrillers, which they claimed were actually good. I just remember him writing exactly like the "men write women" twitter

Wouldn't be surprised if the Catholic church investigations shot his works in to the stratosphere. But I agree he's awful

I do think there was a certain amount of treating Dan Brown like he was a serious intellectual threat to Christianity as a religion, and generally a Thinker who had to be taken seriously. Which was and is ridiculous. So he was overrated to that extent.

i was saying this above, but considering the time period where in the us the catholic church was steadily seeing more investigations into its cadre of pedophiles, i could definitely see people taking dan brown too seriously.
