Dan Brown gets a grilling

I won't lie - I am not a big Dan Brown fan and I personally had no clue what was happening in The Da Vinci Code... maybe I am just a simple soul.

I had to laugh though - there were two hilariously funny articles on Dan Brown that I have to share with you.

The first one is the book review of The Lost Symbol courtesy of Shaun De Waal at the Mail & Guardian. His review is a cracker but I loved this paragraph:

The characters have no character. There are quick sketches to tell us what they look like, and background is filled in briefly, but otherwise they are speaking mannequins. The only exception is the tattooed villain, Mal'akh, in whom Brown seems to have more visceral interest than any other figure in the book.

The second one is a scathing crack at Brown and his writing style which is also good for a laugh - go check it out here.

I suppose we shouldn't make too much fun of Brown though - he is probably rolling in his millions and in turn laughing at us plebs!
