I wanted to see just how bad it could get. I picked up the DVC because so many people were raving about it and told me I just had to read it. I'll admit, the subject matter was intriguing (although not original). But the actual writing was putrid. The dialogue and exposition was so bad I was laughing out loud at parts I shouldn't have been.
I read A&D out of morbid curiosity. Again, the subject matter intrigued me, but when I got to the last 1/4 of the book I was rolling my eyes and sighing. I've never read another word he's written and won't. He is absolutely the worst writer I've come across. DVC could have been a spellbinder if he had any writing chops at all. It's a shame that subject matter that tends to intrigue and fascinate people wound up in the hands of such a hack.
