Me @ 19h28And people wonder why I don't bother reading the Da Vinci Code: The Dan Brown code
Not me @ 20h11Apparently some people liked it. At least they read it and made their own mind up...
Me @ 20h36That would imply one should read everything then. Unfortunately I don't have time to read everything in existence, so it's entirely acceptable to base ones decisions on valued advice, good reviews or detailed analyse. In this case the detailed analysis says DB can't write for anything. Reading the quotes from the book was more than enough to know that the worst book in my flat is far more readable.
Not me @ 20h42For every bad review there are as many, if not more, positive reviews. Apparently it sold "rather well".
Read it, make your own mind up and only then is your view of any interest to anyone else
Me @ 21h41Popularist does not mean good. The spice girls also sold rather well. That doesn't make them a good band only a popular band.
Why read something I've pretty certain I will find grating. I'm still able to hold a valid opinion based in depth studies of others. Not everything requires 1st hand experience to understand. I can evaluate that I probably would enjoy cocaine without having to try it.
