Upon recommendation from a friend, I bought Da Vinci Code. The book was unputdownable, so much so, I quickly went out and bought Deception Point and Angels & Demons. It didn't take me very long to finish reading all three books and to arrive to a conclusion that Dan Brown is easily one of the better writers of this generation.

I have yet to read Digital Fortress, as I am now into The Last Juror by John Grisham. But I am sure that Digital Fortress will be another super duper thriller.

The unique thing about Dan Brown's books are that he will have a postscript which will say that the entire book is based on facts and all descriptions of events, people and groups are accurate!

While this also becomes a learning process, it has also raised the ire of several groups who have violently objected to several things that Dan Brown claims to be true. For instance, Da Vinci Code has resulted in several books published to correct the inaccuracies in that book, by several notable Christian organisations. However, all of them put together could not outsell the original Da Vinci Code.

You just have to do a google to find out the frenzy and controversies surrounding Da Vinci Code. In the meantime, Dan Brown himself has chosen to be silent about the criticisms. I understand that Da Vinci Code is a bestseller in the US. Over in Malaysia all four books of Dan Brown are now in the bestseller list!

If you are looking for something good to read and along the way learn some things, I will surely recommend Dan Brown.

I've seen the movie a couple of times. I cannot understand why everyone is so excited to see the movie. I take it that there are those in here that may have not yet watched the movie so I will try not to spoil it for you. However, if you are the sort of person that loves a good read more than a painfully delinquent movie, then, try not to get too excited about the Da Vinci Code. I love Tom Hanks. I think he is iconic, but his performance in Da Vinci Code leaves much to be desired. Audrey Tatou is gorgeous and can string a few good dialogues with conviction. The best role of the movie belongs to Paul Bettany. He plays the role of Silas to near perfection.

Dan Brown fans, prepare to hand over your money for no good reason.

I prefer books to the original movies. But the movie was very faithful to the book. Quite rare when you try to make a movie out of a book. Angels and Demons was equally good. The way the author weaves the modern and the medieval together is really impressive.

Any body, any idea as to when DB's next novel "The Solomon's Key" would get published? Some time back I heard it will be out by end 2007 or early 2008 but have not heard anything lately. The title itself is intriguing and I am eagerly waiting for it.

Hi Fridge,

Hi Roshan

Yes, I have been quite busy lately. Nice to pop in every now and then.
