The Da Vinci Code actually has car chases in it.
You can practically see the action movie that was playing in Dan Brown's head.
It's a profoundly idiotic movie, and if anything Hollywood probably improved on it, but still. Brown's style is cinematic, or at least cinematic-aspirant.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoIt's a profoundly idiotic book. But the pacing achieves its goals. You're not bored while you're reading it. What people get out of reading The Da Vinci Code, or other books in that style, is the same thing they get out of watching thriller movies. So I think it makes sense to call the book a thriller. > Brown's style is cinematic, or at least cinematic-aspirant. This is an interesting comment. I didn't get that vibe from Dan Brown. But Brandon Sanderson's Steelheart struck me, while I was reading it, as an effort to put a movie into book form. I was completely unsurprised to later learn he'd shopped out the movie rights.
