What i feel.

Dont get me wrong dear writer...but i highly disagree with you on this one.i found "Da Vinci Code",...simply unputdownable.now does that sound like colloquial enough for you??agreed, that the story is a bit far fetched but the twists and turns of the thriller kept me sitting upright at the egde of my seat.
when i read your article i had a feeling that all you wanted to do was lash out at the celebs.well if you are writing about a book that u read,..whether you liked it or not,..atleast dont deviate from your subject.
what next...pick up "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.i'm sure you will hate it but it is one of the most inspiring reads of our times.

In which case, both of you read either "Odessa File" or "The day of the Jackal" and then you will know what an ordinary stuff is this book, or for that matter even the book titled, "Angels & Demons".

agreed.as far as 'the alchemist' is concerned,it makes you just think and think,and that is when you decide your course of action and your plan your path in life.

it is a short read,a simple story and should be read at certain point or the other.

as far as 'da vinci..yawn' is considered,the writer of this article should try commenting on charie and the chocolate factory.but i still believe,the criticism would be negative in every sense.Sleep time,geez!
