Book Review at Hollywood Jesus

Elisabeth Leitch offers her book-store perspective on Dan Brown's novel. A snippet:

As a novel, “The Da Vinci Code” is far from a literary masterpiece. Brown’s writing is “popular” writing, blow-by-blow, action-packed, ready to be pasted directly onto the big screen, and easily reproduced at the rate of one to two books a year. The story isn’t that complex. And his characters never become much more than skin deep personas. But even so, “The Da Vinci Code” has garnered more attention, more praise, and more condemnation than any of Clancy’s, Cussler’s, or Grisham’s similarly adventurous intrigues.
