Somebody’s missing the point of these types of books. Can anyone say “entertainment”? Books of this nature are not intended to be highly analyzed works of literature for scholars. The purpose to achieve mass appeal, big sales, and money in an author’s pocket. If the overall effect of the work leaves a reader walking away entertained and diverted, the author has achieved their goal. If you are a nitpicking reading you should put such a book down quickly to avoid having a mental conniption over it. I looked at the examples of the 20 bad Dan Brown sentences and really didn’t have that much of a problem with them and actually rather enjoyed a few of them.
