Chapter 111 Review of Dan Brown's Three Books

I recently read three books by Dan Brown ---, "The Da Vinci Code" and.The author's early experience of specializing in art history makes his works different from similar thrillers, including various types of knowledge, Such as art, science, religion.But his ability to make up stories is too poor.He's smart, and the plots of the three books boil down to one big riddle.The details we see explored are only part of the riddle, and we will never see the whole of it.For example, the big plot woven by the pope's servant in order to restore the glory of the church; the big plan fabricated by the Chinese and Japanese Ensei Tomoka to destroy the universal decoding machine; the big conspiracy manipulated by Teabing in "The Da Vinci Code" in order to get the Holy Grail .The author only needs to conceive such and such a big plot, big riddle, and big conspiracy, and the whole book is guaranteed, and the rest is filled in with some small plots that confuse readers, and the book is considered finished.This is also one of his fatal shortcomings. Because the author is too concerned about how to make up this big plot that does not let readers know the overall situation until the end, he becomes unable to portray characters and tell stories. The hero in "The Da Vinci Code" is the same as Langdon, and the hero in "The Da Vinci Code" is actually no different from Langdon.I guess the author was in love when he wrote this book, so there is a lot of praise for love and female characters, but this slows down the progress of the plot and the reader is anxious to read.

There are many similarities between the three books. For example, the beginning of the book is about a death—it is also the beginning of the story of the whole book, such as: the curator was killed, the Japanese was killed, the scientist was killed, and then just fell asleep. The protagonist who wakes up is told to investigate something, and then describes the protagonist's reluctance along the way and the strange scenes on the scene: the magnificent Louvre Museum, the mysterious and interesting European Nuclear Center, and the huge intelligence agency.The heroines appear almost in the same appearance. At this time, the author's elaborate conspiracy begins to appear. We think together with the heroine. In fact, the initial thinking is all wrong.Another coincidence is that in the final analysis, there are only two people who do bad things, one has been hiding all the time and only appears as a voice on the phone, and the other is a killer who kills without blinking an eye.From the very beginning, the author has been eloquent about his erudition, and "Da" has done a better job in this respect. It is connected with the plot and is more interesting.Also, I noticed that the author can only write compact stories within a day, which shows that his writing is not enough, and he keeps changing places at the same time, which makes readers feel a bit out of touch, sometimes excited and sometimes cold, especially in "Numbers" Here, every movement and stillness, many useless characters, made me exhausted.

Dan obviously needs to be careful, because he can't come up with a good riddle every time. But there's no denying that I'm obsessed.It took almost two afternoons to read the three books, which is the best way to pass the time in illness.In terms of entertainment alone, "The Da Vinci Code" is the best, because the protagonist is always dynamic, running to various places non-stop, talking and thinking while walking.It's like it, but it's kind of naive and not well done, and the story doesn't get interesting until the second half of the book.The foreshadowing that has been done before makes readers anxious.Let us know in advance what is going to happen, a person dies at 8 o'clock, another person at 9 o'clock, another person at 10 o'clock, and so on.What the reader has to do next is to follow the protagonist step by step to see the dead.And "The Da Vinci Code"?Readers don't know what's going to happen?Moreover, the historical knowledge it tells is very fresh, and readers have never heard of it.Everyone has a desire to subvert. It is very enjoyable to see the unknown side of the familiar characters.It is said that Dan himself did not read a few contemporary novels when he was in college, and mostly read classics.One year on vacation, he accidentally read a thrilling novel, and thought that he could write it much better than it, so he wrote it.Now, when I read these three books, I also think, I can write such a book, but I don’t know if I can write a book like him.Writing is like this, reincarnated from generation to generation, inspiring children of every age to devote themselves to writing.

From these three books, it can be seen that the author's writing has gradually matured. He has successfully integrated various elegant or popular elements together, and can express his thoughts seriously.I am very touched by the views expressed by the author. In fact, no matter who wins or loses in the struggle between religion and science, the person who should be most vigilant is the person himself.When you use them well, they are angels; when you use them badly, they are devils.In this increasingly cold society, where technology is omnipotent and people are omnipotent, there is nothing that makes people awe-inspiring.Without awe, naturally there is no need for any belief support.Dan told readers the various crises of modern society in an entertaining way. After reading the book, I didn't feel relaxed at all, but rather heavy and abnormal.In particular, the author only described the disaster to us, but his judgment on it is very vague. In this era, people have no room for privacy. Now there are universal decoding machines, and after a while there will be even more versatile machines. It is more omnipotent and inexhaustible.However, I believe that in the face of a crisis, everyone will have their own choices.
