This is an exraordinairly good book.

It's kind of scary how brilliant is Dave Sim.

Three times now, Dan Brown has managed to string together plots so compelling that they've dragged me through 500 pages of the clumsiest, most awkward dialogue this side of a 7th grade creative writing class. It might very well be the greatest tragedy of modern literature that an author so widely read is so fundamentally bad at writing.

Readers of this book should strongly consider doing it with a cold beer in hand: drink every time he begins a chapter with the word "the." Drink every time he brings a character back into a plot with full name and title, just in case we dense readers couldn't keep 'em all straight. Drink every time the villain says something so lame that it makes Snidely Whiplash look menacing. Drink every time you're eyes instinctively hit their upper lids after reading a particularly tortured metaphor or unnecessarily intricate description.

I read him, but I hate him for not letting me stop.

If you stare long enough at anything, you will start to see similarities. The word coincidence exists in order to stop people from seeing meaning where none exists.

If you're scoring at home...it took Dent 7 pages to work in an unnecessary referecd to Bear Bryant and the Junction practices to this book that is nominally about Notre Dame. as far as I can tell there is no convenient mail-order coupon in the back to purchase a copy of the Junction Boys, his book on the subject.

looking forward to mocking the first reference to monsters of the midway.

The wonderful thing about visionaries is the clarity with which the future appears to them. They imagine it and pursue it and all the rest is in service of realizing the dream.

God, this book is kicking my ass.

I will NOT bend to it's will. I am going to finish this mother...

...the 'angel' theory of planetary motion is untestable because no matter how planets moved, that motion could be attributed to angels; therefor the angel theory cannot explain the particular motions that we see, unless it is supplemented by an independant theory of how angels move.

This book is so poorly written as to be almost unreadable. Great content, great story, AWFUL writing.

On April 29, 1964, just a week before the election, [George] Wallace spoke at Notre Dame. He was invited by a student political science organization, ostensibly to discuss states' rights. his appearance provoked a storm of controversy among students who at last found both an outlet for their frustrations and an opportunity to demonstrate their convictions.
