One question about Dan Brown's "The Davinci Code"?
I read the book about two months ago and was left with one easy question.

DOES AN AVERAGE SIZED NOVEL NEED 90 FUCKING CHAPTER BREAKS!!


:grr::argh:
It throws me off because the chapter break is when I generally get up and take a break.

4. Heh...so that it'll BE average-sized...
And stay away from James Patterson, king of the single-page chapter.

Sheesh...

5. I think...
and I hope no one takes this the wrong way, because I did enjoy the book- I think it was simply written for people who don't read very often and need more breaks?

:shrug:

6. That one, yes ...

It's a stylistic thing. Worked well in that book.

7. Of course. It gives some interest to the novel.
It makes it move along.

Otherwise, it's a piece of crap.
