Bleh

The Da Vinci Code and its author are in the news. A lawsuit.

Frankly, I do not give damn about the lawsuit.

But I do dislike the book. Intensely.

And the book is bad. Atrociously bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

Two dimensional clichés impersonating characters. A Distinguished American professor. An Exotic French babe. An eccentric English nobleman. All we need now is a Ninja and a cute puppy. And a spaceship. And aliens. And pirates. They would only improve the book.

(That would be a good plot...If the pirates made the professor, the babe and the nobleman walk the plank. And the aliens laid eggs in them which hatched and then the Ninja fought them! On the spaceship. While a tidal wave on Mars wiped out the alien colony.)

A wafer thin plot. The Da Vinci Stupidity. Not my off the cuff masterpiece.

And a supposedly “fast moving” story.

That’s what the author called it: “A fast moving thriller.”

It is not.

It is fast moving crap.

The Da Vinci Code is literary diarrhea.

Gah!

As I read the lines 'The Da Vinci Code is literary diarrhea.', I was remembered about how in the 1930s, scientists around the world longed to find a cure for diarrhea. Then *someone* came up with the vaccine, and that always got a smile to his face.

The human body has 206 bones. It has some more muscles, ligaments, tendons. This subject is called biology. I remember the time how...

:P

Don't incur the wrath of the fans. They might make you sit through a F1 race as a form of punishment. Speaking of punishment, it is indeed strange how the medieval ages...

aargh!!
