That is debatable. I think that Dan Brown's novel would have been grasped by the simple minded (have you read that novel? he's not a good writer by any means, compare him to other potboiler writes and he's not even in James Hadley Chase's league).

I just saw the movie, which was a blockbuster even though it was a piece of trash. If it had not been for the controversy, you’d never have heard of it today.
