This, and this are two very funny articles attacking the "stylistics" of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code. I read about a hundred pages of said "novel" this summer, and I was absolutely baffled at its sheer and utter badness. I believe at the time I wrote something like "I have spent the last three and a half years studying comparative litterature, and I am having trouble finding the words for describing just exactly how much this book sucks sweaty donkey balls."
