Now, the sales of this book are approaching 50 million sales. At $ 20 each, that’s about a billion dollars in sales. One billion dollars. People can barely use the bathroom, but we spent a billion dollars on this book. This should immediately suggest that this is a must-read novel, creating an effect similar to that seen on a rolling rock. Once the rock rolls with enough force and gathers enough people crushed to its bottom, its mass increases and attracts even more people. Simply put, logically speaking for you physicists, if Simple Plan = Sold, then Dan Brown = Sold X 100.
At Costco the other day, this Dan Brown (who magically “buys” now has 4 books, all of which are bestsellers) got him a full table for his paraphernalia books and his 6 versions of the “Da Vinci Code.” “. “The last time Costco dedicated a full table to anything was when they had samples for sausage rolls. And they were very good sausage rolls. Well, to the book. After all, that’s what it is.
Or is that it? Confusingly enough, the new editions of “Da Vinci” have “Now a Full-Length Movie” on the cover, starring the raucous Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, who “buys” the way is the main character. (“Buy” by the way, saying “buy” instead of “for” never goes out of style, especially to me.) Now this may not seem confusing at first, but imagine, if you want, the following situation:
Cut the scene to James Thompson, or “Jimmy” Thompson.
“Hey! The Da Vinci Code! Alright! Now in 37 languages, in case I decide to go to UAE, I can still read it! But wait … Movie … now … book … Which was the first? I don’t even know! “
62 years later, at the age of 89, Jimmy Thompson died of cardiac arrest because he had not exercised for 37 years. Do you see a connection? Forward.
The book itself could be condensed into some 20 pages of pretty interesting content, where Brown reveals all kinds of blasphemous statements about Christianity that I won’t reveal here as they would spoil the 80 or more filler chapters. People seem so puzzled and engrossed with this “astonishing” point of view or interpretation of various artifacts from history (such as Da Vinci’s paintings) that they cannot realize that this is a poorly written book. If you like Tom Clancy and Stephen King, hope you like Dan Brown because he is exactly the same type. The kind that can produce in about 6 weeks, without thinking, (aside from research) with no social comment, no character development, etc. The episode spins faster than an episode of “24”, although it is a good show and is predictable in its unpredictability … which means that you can predict what will happen based on what you feel deep down, which should never happen. .
And then to top it all, as if our attention spans weren’t short enough, he gives one of those “not really finished” endings that we all hate because we secretly realize that Brown couldn’t think of a way to end. this epic novel. Speaking of the end, The End. Wow, and there is no picture. I have not realized this yet. But I can bold things, but it seems like more effort than it’s worth.
