I actually considered this for the "a book that everyone but you has read" challenge, but then decided against it. Seeing as it also fits this challenge I'm gonna give it a shot (I quite like The DaVinci Code).

Well. I mean, the story is fine but the writing is really annoying at times. I hate when accomplished female scientists (or any job field, really) is reduced in writing to how hot they are. Stop it. You as the author need their expertise for the plot, so treat your characters right. Also, in this case, I felt Brown didn't even need her expertise for the plot, she was simply there to act as a damsel in distress and I do not subscribe to that use of women in litterature. So yeah, no thanks Dan Brown - try harder!
