The Da Vinci Code: A spoiler-free review
This has been one of the least productive weeks in recent memory. Classes have been skipped, work has been largely overlooked, scheduled extracurricular activities have been blown off. At the moment, we are feeling sluggish and somewhat guilty for all the laziness.

Hah, I read this piece of crap on a transatlantic flight and had an identical reaction. I felt like I was being held hostage by the book...I mean, I wanted to know what was going to happen just because I wanted to know what kinda bullshit Dan Brown was trying to pull--not because I gave a crap about any of the charecters.
I don't remember a lot of the plot because this was AGES ago, but I remember that Brown pulled a LOT of ridiculousness. I mean, from the start, the true identity of Sophie is pretty fucking obvious. But all through the book Brown is like "Ohhh, yeah, it LOOKS like that, but it's not. And here is reasons why it's not. And it's not. So don't even think it, okay?"
So eventually, I was like "Oh okay, guess I was wrong about that." But then, nope! I was totally right! Brown just through he could pull cheap wriring tricks and fool me. What a hack!
Uggh, through the whole book I was like "Well, at least Landgon and Sophie aren't going to fall in looove because that will be so predictible that I will LOSE IT." But Dan just couldn't help himself.
It's just so pathetic that people go around saying "I read the DAVINCI CODE , and it's my FAVORITE book!" like they think that makes them intelligent! I mean, teh book is GARBAGE but people think reading it makes them an intellectual just because it's involves art and Europe and fucking secret codes.
Hah, sorry to rant, I just HATE HATE HATE THAT BOOK!

I did not like that the two fell in love, although I knew he'd go there from line one when he first met her. Never have a character check out the legs of another character unless you plan to have them shack up before the end.
