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.

He does use some outrageous things, but I think that's part of what makes the books unique.  He's making a book that to many seems like its science fiction, as a lot of the technologies are unknown to us, when he has done extensive research, and in theory, the stuff that happens in his book could happen any day.
