Philip Pullman has read Dan Brown… and he’s a little underwhelmed:
“His basic ignorance about the way people behave is astonishing, talking in utterly implausible ways to one another,” says Pullman, 62.
“All the usual literary things he just doesn’t know how to do, but he’s not interested in those and nor are his millions of readers. There’s nothing wrong in writing as he does, but it is not great writing.”
