Book - The DaVinci Code - spoilers - *spoilers*

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

After a few days of digesting the book, I decided I don't like the ending. Wishy-washy. The entire book is spent building up to this "the truth must be told!" climax, and at the end we get.... "We don't need to tell the secret. The secret is all around us in beautiful works of art."

Ok... what the fuck?

And another thing, the rich dude who ended up being the "Teacher" bad guy? Why did he turn the gun on our heroes when he did? They were hell bent for leather trying to unravel the secret... and then, suddenly, he pulls a gun on then and demands he join them to unravel the secret, or die.

Again, huh?

Maybe I zipped through the book too quickly.

Just cos he can come up w\ semi-interesting plots doesn't mean the writing that ties it all together doesn't suck. His character development leaves something to be desired. As does his characters' interactions.

I'm too far removed from the book to remember it very well. But I have some vague recollection of things not making sense characterwise.
It's not me, it's someone else.
