Taking a swipe at an author...

It’s not often that a book review in a national newspaper annoys me... But this review from The Guardian on Tuesday has managed that. 

I’m currently reading The Secret of Secrets, and yes – I had it on pre-order. It’s light and fluffy, with enough action to keep it ticking along. But  weapons grade nonsense? 

That’s harsh. I admit, like my previous read – Robert Galbraith’s The Hallmarked Man, it does help if you’ve read the other books in the Robert Langdon series, otherwise it’s a tad confusing. 

But, if you've read the other books, then you know what Dan Brown's writing style is, and if it's a style you enjoy?  Good luck to you.

Personally, I like Salman Rushdie’s comment... 

If you don’t like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don’t like it, nobody is telling you to finish it. To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended. 

And that is the best way to look at a book - *not* describe it as weapons grade bollocks. 

Time to call this quits – I want to learn what The Secret of Secrets is....

Music plays 

In my head 

Heard that song before 

Met some people in my life 

But they weren’t the real deal
