I like his ideas for novels (the way he takes all that research and fictionalizes it so you're being entertained as you read), and I enjoy the fast pace of his narratives. The only novel pages I turn any faster are those of James Patterson. One criticism: his female characters are pretty thin, almost like cardboard cutouts that he just moves around.

One word, spell it all caps or mixed case but just ... spell it.<br /><br />I enjoy Dan Brown as well though I was a little disappointed with The Lost Symbol.
