Well, not really a lot better I guess, I just preferred it, they both have very similar writing styles to them.  Do you not like the nonstop action types of books, or what?

I like books who aren't shallow, and who have more to offer than outrageos things, like planes who can fly without wings.

Uh? I remember Robert Langdon flying in a high-tech jet but that's certainly not the focus of the book. I found both Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci code very interesting. They are filled with trivia about religious sybolism and art. It's fun to follow the heroes as they decipher clues in paintings, writings, sculptures.

All of Dan Brown's books are very formulaic but they're still intertaining.

I know that that wasn't the focus of the book. But it seemed so outrageous and distracting, and was put there to draw attention and make the book seem interesting. I simply hate Dan Brown's writing style. There are books in that genre that are far better (like The Millennium thrilogy by Steig Larsson).
