The Da Vinci Code was the hottest book of the new century, and guess what...I haven't read it. But I did just finish a prior book by Dan Brown, Digital Fortess. Apparently, Mr. Brown drastically improved his writing skills between the two books, because Digital Fortress was a piece of crap. I haven't seen such a naive (and totally inaccurate) treatment of technology since Hackers and The Net. I could have overlooked the technical problems if the story hadn't been so predictable. The main character had an IQ of 170, and yet somehow I consistently figured out what was going on about 50 pages before she did. I wish I could get that time back. I could have been watching America's Next Top Model instead.
