Yeah, I was one of those. They kept telling me that the book must be good because of the number of copies sold.

I haven't read DVC. But I did read Deception Point and part of Angels and Demons. Deception Point is his finest work, and it's mediocre at best. Angels and Demons was so bad that I quit reading it after about 100 pages. And I never, ever, quit reading a book unless it's truly horrible. Angels and Demons took its place next to Battlefield Earth as one of the worst books ever. In short, Dan Brown just ain't a very good author.

You had me slapping my knees, I was laughing so hard.

Still, you made if further through Angels and Demons that did I! :p
