Three Reasons to Read Dan Brown

Dan Brown might not be your cup of tea but here are three reasons why I think he might be worth a read:

1. He knows how to keep you reading.

If you like reading stuff that keeps you on the edge of your seat, then Dan Brown is the author for you. He has got the art of suspense mastered. His chapters are short so you end up thinking that there is always time for one more, and he makes good use of cliffhangers.

2. Reading his books means you have to know what the Bible says.

Some of the topics that Dan Brown covers in his novels are controversial, but if you know your Bible then you can work out what the truth is. And these novels are fiction, not fact. Whatever you do in life or whatever you read, regardless of whether it is Dan Brown or not, you will find ideas that go against what the Bible teaches. Probably not a bad idea to know what the Bible has to say.

3. You might learn something

The last Dan Brown book I read was Inferno. Before reading it I knew nothing about Dante or what he wrote, other than that he wrote something. Since reading that novel, stuff like finding out about Dante and reading some of his works have found their way onto my to do list.
