I found the book to be a pretty hard slog.
My son saw the movie last night. Said it was "long and boring."
The book was interesting at the beginning and for a while, but the whole thing bogged down and became so mired in absurdity that by the time I finished it I wished I had spent the time reading something else.
Why would I want to pay to see a movie made by people that don't know how to film and edit film based on a book that had nothing to offer in the first place?
I'm not even religious and I found it to be, umm, what am I searching for......bad entertainment, at best? So you can bet it won't improve via hollywood retelling it on the screen.
Truly, the only thing that bothers me about this kind of drivel is that [apparently] the majority of movie goers in this country are incapable of destinguishing between fact and fiction, i.e. they believe to be fact whatever they see on the screen.
Me too. And I didn't understand all the fuss. One chapter after another of a cliffhanger with the hero saying..."If I can solve this puzzle, I'll unwrap the biggest mystery of all time. Solve, solve solve. DANG, it's another puzzle!"
"I found the book to be a pretty hard slog."
Dialog is tough to write. Brown's was impossible to read without snickering. I pitched the lousy thing after a couple of chapters.
