Dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2006)

I read the book on a long train journey with nothing else to do. It very nearly got thrown out of the window, but the writing style was so jaw-droppingly awful, the characters so flimsy, the plot so laughable, I felt I had to finish it just to convince myself it could be quite so bad right to the end; it could.
Surely, I thought, the movie can only be an improvement. Maybe it is, but still not worth paying to sit in a cinema and get bored. I have no religious axe to grind and I really, really can't see why anyone should get excited by a rehashed theory which was passingly interesting when it was first dreamt up - some 20 years before Dan Brown latched onto it.
If you haven't seen this film yet- DON'T.
