about Dan Brown

From The Telegraph: Dan Brown's 20 worst sentences. Here's a taste:

10. The Da Vinci Code, chapter 4: Five months ago, the kaleidoscope of power had been shaken, and Aringarosa was still reeling from the blow.

Did they hit him with the kaleidoscope?

That article has a link to The Dan Brown Code by Geoffrey Pullum:

Brown's writing is not just bad; it is staggeringly, clumsily, thoughtlessly, almost ingeniously bad. In some passages scarcely a word or phrase seems to have been carefully selected or compared with alternatives.

It's worth a read.
