#5 Da Vinci Code

The reason I put Da Vinci Code as number five is because it is utter crap. Now normally I don't say that because of the effort put in by the author to make a book good, but Dan Brown obviously didn't put that in. He has no sources, the characters we're all lifeless, and he based most of it on religion, not actual facts. Most of the book was dumified cause apparently the topic is too complicated for us. He leads the reader through every single clue to an obvious conclusion that I guessed from the beginning . Maybe this book got famous because people felt like they know information about a top secret organization, or they felt like they solved something big, but I don't know why anybody would read a book that would have made a historian cry because of all the false facts. This book was probably meant to be a novel to read over the weekend and not really put thought into, but throughout the book, the feeling I got from it was repetitive and condescending. We shouldn't even call it a book, it's just a place where Dan Brown tells us about how much he knows about old art history. Well, he should do more research because most, if not all, of his facts are wrong. Him not adding a bibliography at the ending kind of hints at the fact that everything he wrote was BS. He's not good at writing either. Maybe if he had been I wouldn't be so rude to him, but he's not. Most of his chapters end in cliffhangers, to the point where you kind of expect them. And all the dumbifying made the book seem stupid and lifeless. I looked at some of his other books, well the discriptions, And they all have the same plot.  Not to mention the characters. They were so oblivious that it was funny. They shouldn't be experts at everything, and it's not coincidental if the main character is an expert at everything needed to solve the case. If I, a fifteen year old high school student, know more than all the adult characters in this book, who are all experts at apparently everything, that's not good. So, all in all Da Vinci Code is not a book I would recommend. It's lifeless, boring, and dumbed down. To the people who called it 'action packed' and 'a must read thriller', you need to read some actual books. Maybe they were the same people who reviewed Twilight.
