George, I did not say he did not make money. Barbara Cartland was rolling in the stuff and she wrote worse tripe than Brown. Yes, he certainly cleaned up, his coffers are full to the brim. But just because a lot of people buy a book, thus it becomes a bestseller, does not mean the book is good. It just means that lots of people like crap. Which also explains the popularity of day-time soaps, most pop musicians and 99% of the trash produced in Hollywood. Dan Brown wrote a horrible book, which sold extremely well and got two movie deals, good for him. I bear him no ill will, nor am I jealous. Life is too short envy others. But no matter how much money he makes, you'll never convince me that his fiction is not pulp of the very lowest level.
