Reply #4: Its a novel for people who don't like novels

[The Jacobin]

Its a short read with short chapters and breathless cliffhangers. It reads like a script for a thriller movie, not a novel. I found it irritatingly bad. Not as bad as Left Behind, but bad nonetheless.

I was not really offended about the anti-catholic stuff until the end when Brown pulls a "just kidding, it was all someone else's fault." That kind of crappy cop-out allows him to make the catholics so all kind of crazy things, then justify it in the end.
