Someone returned The DaVinci Code to the front desk, so I thought I'd check it out.
The prologue was annoying. The death of a random character set-up has really begun to bug me. You may need established author points with me to do it. Also, weak prose, Dangerous Secrets, and a random albino thug. (Yes, I have an albino thug too. Wanna make somethin' of it?)
But anyway, I go on. Till the second page of chapter 1, where the character wakes to a phone call (didn't the same guy wake up to a phone call in Angels & Demons, too?), and then procedes to look in a mirror, where he sees...(wait for it)...his dimpled chin.
A mirror! A manly dimple! OMGWTFBBQ!
Gideon, my random albino thug, is now whispering in my ear, promising me he would never leave someone gutshot assuming they would die. Three in the head, you know they're dead. His boss would never tolerate such rank amateurness. *pets the pretty puppy*
Okay, this book may be so bad I have to read on. Is that what it takes to be a page-turner?
ETA: I read through chapter 2. OMG, so bad. But I had to read the second chapter for Silas, the random hulking albino masochist goon. It made Gideon laugh. Now he's giving me reproachful looks because I was going to cut him out of Dreams. Maybe if he'd pull his weight a little more... *glares*
