Kudos, Mr. Pereira. It's about time somebody pointed out that the Emperor has no clothes. Dan Brown is good at winding research into a plot, but he is an awful writer. The example you picked - how can a silhouette's eyes be visible in such detail? And yes, it's high time somebody pointed out that books of the Chicken Soup ouevre are pabulum. For readers of minimal intelligence. Can we have a regular column on bad writing?
