Disapointment in Dan Brown
I'm so disapointed in Dan Brown. I'm reading his book "Deception Point" (very good, i recomend it) But in chapter 101 he makes a HUGE mistake, sure if you're not obsessed with Greek or Roman mythology you'd pass right over it and not notice, but come on, i think most people know a tiny bit about greek/roman mythology. You have to to understand the names of the planets.
In the book he mentions a small one manned submersable and its named "The Triton-named for the Greek god of the sea"
WHAT?! is what i called out when i read that. Posidon is the Greek god of the sea, Neptun is the Roman one, Triton was the King of the sea in the little mermaid and Posidon caries a trition! I can't believe dan browns publishers and editors didn't catch that. Aren't they suppose to find these mistakes and fix them. This goes along with the things Brown says are "Facts" in the "Davinci Code", and "Angels and Demons"
there was a documentary on the "Facts" in Davinci Code, and all the facts were questionable at best, there was no fact that was conclucive and you couldn't question it
dan brown is letting me down (i didn't mean to rhyme)
i should write him and tell him he's stupid, hahaha just kidding
not everyone can be right 100% of the time, facts and myth are one in the same for they are often mistaken for each other. I don't mean to give him a bad time, but how could you make a mistake as big as a Greek gods name, and substatute it for a disney character, quite sad
Triton-the Greek god of the sea, yeah, right

I read this Dan Brown novel because I have enjoyed Angels & Demons as well as Davinci Code so much. This one starts off great and is interesting but then at times seems to drag on and on. The characters are not as likeable or believable as Robert Langdon and it all seems a bit far fetched and at times too descriptive and just too much.
