Aside from the writing and his absurd manner of creating suspense (..."She'll never forget what she saw that night...IN THE BASEMENT!"), my biggest issue with Brown is that I am much, much smarter than his supposed Harvard symbologist main character.

SRSLY, Langdon, it doesn't take more than a second to figure out MIRROR SCRIPT.

(Have not read A&D. A friend of mine did...kept me updated as she read it. Sounds howlingly awful/funny.)

But my confession? I actually like Twilight, though I am not blind to its faults.
