How does this book compare to Dan Brown?

seriously? completely different. much more character driven but still really plotty. brown's characters have about as much depth as cardboard.
I read like 5 pages of Dan Brown and put it down. This seems mega popular (at the level of Brown, Potter, Twilight), so you can't blame me for being wary.

i hear you. that's why i reacted that way. i'd compare it more to maybe scott turow or somebody like that. very popular, not literature, but not bad.
i've read all the books, but didn't like the films. the swedish version didn't follow the books that well, and had waaay too much focus on the sex scenes instead of the plot. too bad, because i enjoyed reading the books
I agree. I don't really know how the rest of you can say the movie "closely followed" the book. There were huge subjects omitted and others that were just given passing mention in the movie. The movie was okay, don't get me wrong, but the book was significantly better (probably not a surprise).
Its good. Hell, all three books are good. Definitely worth a read. Might help with the ladies as they're bound to have heard/read about it.
I thought the first movie was very faithful. The 2nd and 3rd had much larger departures.
I feel ya, but literature is pretty sacred to me. Reading for an ulterior motive is just...wrong. Even more so than music - because I can enjoy ****** pop here and there.

Maybe we are talking about two different things
Teh awesome. Absolutely worth seeing. Not a first date film. Well acted and beautiful cinematography. And man, was the girl with the dragon tattoo a badass.
