Does Dan Brown seriously rock...? k i know he doesn't actually rock...i mean he is nt a rocker u know..he justs walks...writes books....ndoes other things that v ppl do...
so what makes him different...is it his Da Vinci Code...yeah i read the book....don't actually understand the hype concerning the book....it has an ingenious plot...the theory is controversial...but does that mean the book should be famous....of course it is human tendency to read books which are highly controversial...or are banned..
i still remember how eager and enthusiatic we(implies the first year gals of nitc) were to watch TV in the tv room...since our DEAR seniors STRICTLY forbade to do so!(yaya it was only till the end of first sem)
so when we were finally allowed to watch tv in that previously....enchanting(no no i'm not exagerating)tv room......we suddenly realised that the room was really boring and plain TO SAY THE LEAST!!
watching tv there when we could go out n hang around with friends n watch movies in theatre was really out of the question....
i'm not against dan brown...i really loved his prevois books...angels and demons...deception point...n all dat(ya the only book left now is digital fortress)...but da vinci code didn't actually keep me on the edge of my seat...as in the case of angels n demons....
of course there was always the back ground rebukes and PJ's my bros kept tellin ....tryin to dissuade me from reading the book syain that it was banned by the Pope!
when i finished reading the book....i realised that it wasn't defenitely DAN's BEST book....
maybe the hype is on the rise due to the release of the film starring tom hanks(really a funny actor...liked him in forest gump!) ...
recently i read in the newspaper that there are protest against the realease of the film in bombay.....
lets wait and see....the show has begun....keep the balls rolling!!!

1...pls don't crack chalus esp wen u r talking abt such a serious topic
reason:u will not get anybody to read beyond that...esp wen U r the one cracking chalus
2.I guess u wrote this in reply to ma blog post with da same name.
3.Dan Brown definitely rocks,maybe davinci code doesn't for some
4.I read davinci code before i came to kno abt da hype. I liked it because of the ingenious plot,excitement and mystery. I read angels and demons after that and i loved it more than davinci. but the thing with u was that u read a&d before davinci n so it didn't feel that appealing...n the real buk lovers don't go for buks on the basis of controversies,but on wat other readers think.u got to appreciate dan brown,coz not many can do it the way he does.
4.as a comscian i wud recommend u to read digital fortress.(i beleive studies is a strong motivation for u..hehe)
ok paro
u admitted dat angels n demons was a much better book
but the fact dat da vinci code is his best seller on not the former shows that there are thousands of people who read the book because of the controversial theory delved upon in the book.
dan brown is a great writer.
understandable...n u told abt real buk lovers don't go for books bcoz of the controversies...u c the no. of real buk lovers wud b very few compared to the ones who read it just bcoz there is always some article popping up in the newspaper regarding the book....some of them read it jus 2 understand the film (of which u can never deciher the plot without reading da book)
n i can assure u i'm not giving a biased opinion on dis matter.
nways i shud get 2 read digital fortress...guess i shud follow my gr8 friend who has already read the book(as studies is the strongest motivation for her! meant u... u know if u dint get it ;))
