the davinci code? 454/105=4.3

Yeah, I'm a year late getting there, but since I'm unemployed, I figured this summer would be a good time to read some fiction... a rare event for me. After spending 1600 pages or so catching up with the Harry Potter series, I picked up my wife's copy of "The DaVinci Code". I ask you... what the hell kind of 400 page book has 100 chapters? Dan Brown seems to think readers don't have patience to worry over a puzzle that isn't resolved within 4 pages. I'm so-far unimpressed.

I suppose one positive to Brown's writing style is that I can make significant progress through the plot every time I go to the john.

Perhaps I should line up some "classics" for the remainder of the summer instead.
