I read it; liked it. Seems to me that lots of others have some sort of agenda in trying in an almost desperate way to tell people how bad they think the book is.

But that has nothing to do with these two losers, who admit they only dislike the book because it sold more than theirs. Arrogant elitists, the both of 'em.

I have no agenda, nothing against genre fiction. I am the furthest thing from a literary snob--heck, I love Janet Ivanovich, Diana Gabaldon, Dick Francis, Robert Parker, and none of them writes great literature. But Brown is just a talent-free hack. Everyone is reading his book only because everyone else is reading the book.
