No, I haven't read anything by Dan Brown, but I watched The Da Vinci Code for the first time together with T. a week or two ago. I think that movie has an interesting basic idea, although I have to confess that I at times I found the movie slightly confusing. Funnily enough, when T. and I accompanied his parents, sister and brother-in-law to the movies Saturday night, I realised that when it comes to Angels and Demons it's almost the other way around. The plot is a pretty straightforward power struggle which becomes interesting mainly because of the Vatican setting and the CERN twist, but the movie itself moves along in a well-told and structured (but yes, extremely violent) way. All in all, it was really fun to go there and watch it together with the whole family and it's quite interesting that the two movies are so different, but I can't say that any of them shook my world. I guess I'm not a "Dan Brown-person."
