Compared to Eco&#39;s &quot;The Name of the Rose&quot; sure, Brown&#39;s writing is pedestrian; however, it strikes me as unfair to slag this book for not being high art. I don&#39;t think Brown was shooting for anything more than an engaging suspense story utilizing some heady themes. Expecting a pop bestseller like &quot;DaVinci Code&quot; to be anything more than what it is, that&#39;s like trying to compare a decent Jackie Chan chopsocky movie to &quot;Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon&quot;. The latter transcends genre and formula, the former uses genre and formula to deliver accessible entertainment; there&#39;s room enough in world for both types of movies and books.<br /><br />If your opinion is that this book fails even as light entertainment, then that&#39;s another story. I&#39;m surprised that the manner in which Brown weaves in Grail mythology and alternative/heretical Christian themes doesn&#39;t at least make up for the shortcomings in characterization - but, as the other commenters have mentioned, &#39;to each their own.&#39; Compared to other bestsellers (I&#39;m thinking of the likes of Tom Clancy and John Grisham) I think this book more than holds its own.
