This is classic, and just might be my favorite book review of all time.

For someone unfamiliar with Dan Brown, is there a reason for this? Is he high-strung/sensitive about his books/reviews?

  i think it's more that he fills his books with a ton of filler. could probably reduce the books by 1/3 and lose nothing of interest/value
