Too old and cynical now to suspend disbelief for Dan Brown stuff (even the movies), but have in the past enthusiastically read series of certified potboilers such as - the original James Bond novels - the Dick Francis novels If it works - for the author, make megabucks, or for the reader - be entertained, then so be it. It's not like the hit movies are the deeply cerebral ones either. The books can still suck from an artistic standpoint, and the critics can still rip into them.
