This book is a masterpiece of poorly written scribble. I cannot understand how this book sold so many copies. The only guess I can venture is that American's watch too much tv and are unaware of any decent literature. I really can't understand what our schools must be teaching if this is what the American people find enjoyable. Brown has outdone himself in his shaky understanding of religion. I thought his physics and religion references in Angels and Demons were bad, but this is an insult to the intellect!
