The Other Side of Dan Brown
What an interesting title, dont u think? :D

Actually, I just wanna share some articles that reveals other side of Dan Brown and his writings. I am not fans of him nor i read his books. I just watched the movies that based on his writings. Both.

After watch the last movies, Angels and Demons, a friend of mine told me some magnificent stories on how good Dan Brown is and his ability to do all of the research to create such masterpieces.

But as all things in the world, there is always another side of a story.

Dan Brown is accused for plagiarism. My other friend (let say, the anti-Dan Brown) said (quoted and edited without changing its meaning):

Dan brown TIDAK melakukan risetnya
sama sekali. dia plagiat dari orang lain. tapi karena si dan brown itu
udah di beking sama loyer2 dari random house courtnya di lama2 in jadi si penuding tidak punya duit lagi utk
lanjutin.

sekarang si dan brown udah jadi jutawan, udah bisa hire orang buat
melakukan/ melanjutkan risetnya.

I know then that his Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are just an ordinary fiction book. He makes it in such a way that can convince the reader to believe that his story are truly facts. Kudos to him for doing that anyway.

About the anti-matter in Angel and Demons, Gerald Gabrielse, a Harvard physicist who currently leads an international research team at CERN said: "I always say that what Dan Brown did for the Roman Catholic Church in 'The Da Vinci Code,' he did for me and my research with 'Angels and Demons,'"

Here are articles regarding anti-matter (regarding to Angels and Demons):
 And here is the article that compares point by point which facts and which is not from Angels and Demons.

    yah,
    kenapa sih kita gak ngehargai hasil karya orang lain aja, as simple as that.
    kenapa juga harus capek" bikin research ttg si penulis segala, toh itu juga cuma fiksi.

    btw, dari segi buku, angel and demon lebih bagus dripada davinci code. worth untuk dibaca lah.

    @dinda: kalo memang dia penulis yang hebat, kan seharusnya dia gak plagiaris. dan dia pun harusnya jg bisa membuktikan kalo memang dia bukan plagiaris. :)

    @kemi: yoih. kayak baca komik jepang yang kadang2 dihubung2in sama hal nyata. sumpah gag tau bedanya mana yang boong mana yg bener hehe.
