I mean both are fantastic when the main ideology of the respective novels is taken into account. And , of course dramatic dialogues are an essential part of any thriller, pointing to that Sinskey dialogue ridiculed by Jennifer. What I like about Dan brown is that , he persuades me to think something beyond myself and leaves me with some kinda impression which lasts for atleast few days of reading the novel.

As student of medieval history, Dante geek,an d with an odd fascination with the Black Death, I was sure I would enjoy myself. But, for all of the reasons you point out, it was just another Langdon caper. What killed it for was the plot twist. This was so unnecessary and farfetched, I gave up.
