It's funny how the general public find novelty in some theories that have been known in the academic circles for a long time now...
(A friend of mine and I call the director of the first "Wrong" Howard... someday he'll learn how to shoot movies... or he won't!) |

I hated this book.
It starts off pretty well, with some wacky physics (but let's not think too deep here), and then it goes into the Da-Vinci-Code sort of conspirancy plot, which really keeps you reading and I think the author handles these very well. Then the ending just blows it. It's one of the worst endings ever. You've read the whole book locked to the seat to finaly get here, yuck. The other worst ending I've seen was the movie "It". I think Stephen King is another genious of writting very entertaining books and blowing the endings....

I haven't read it yet. I was told it was pretty much the same as Da Vinci Code. Is it?

I read it and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's definitely written in the same style as The DaVinci Code, with short chapters, loads of red herrons, etc. and is entertaining. Even if you don't particularly like "beach books" like this, the amount of research that Brown has done and the accurate portrayal of difficult topics (Large Hadron Collider) in fiction has to impress you.
Hopefully the movie version is better than the DaVinci code... |

Does anyone like Tom Hanks in this role?
I imagined him more like Gerard Butler when I read the books.
