What happened to the real dale Brown?

My suggestion would be for the author (whoever they are) to read flight of the old dog and then this book.  I think they would agree their literary ability is no where near the true Dale Brown.
There is nothing redeeming in this novel.  The story is implausible, the charactors inconsistant, shallow, ridiculous ect.
If this is the direction "Dale Brown" is going I don't think many fans will be going along.

This book is identical to the other books Mr. Brown has written. This time the book started with him running from bad guys and he was still running halfway through the book when I just couldn't read it anymore! Nothing else happened in all those pages except him being chased! Angels and Demons was EXCELLENT! The DaVinci Code was Very Good too! The Lost Symbol not so much and this one was like a cut and paste. No more Dan Brown novels for me!

I previewed this album, and although some of the songs are pretty off the hook, I really have to ask: What happened to this man?

I remember first hearing him sing on an episode of his big sister's hit sitcom "Moesha" about 10 years ago, and he was terrific.  Fast-forward to 2005, and I hear "One Wish."  He whined and cried his way through the entire song.

Although the songs are pretty good, his voice has just deteriorated some how.  I'm not sure what happened.

This book is typical of Dale Brown. It is fast moving, a 'page turner', with advances in technology, some of which is based upon previous works.

Brown claims that he has an anonymous, now deceased source who knew Andrew Borden's here-to-fore unknown illegitimate son, William.  This William, who is described as being very fond of his axe, is supposed to have claimed to have murdered his father & stepmother.  Lizzie was supposed to have been an accessory, keeping quiet, risking the trial, in return for an early inheritance.  Naturally, we cannot read the source for ourselves, and I must wonder if William Borden's story (he was talking to his axe at the time), recounted years later, is entirely to be trusted even if Brown's witness has been absolutely accurate about everything that he heard as a child and recounted as an old man.

The problem is, there is little proof.  Even supposing that Brown's research into William Borden's birth is correct, and that he has drawn the proper conclusion about his real paternity, even supposing that his informant is absolutely correct, there is no evidence for the details of the killing or Lizzie's involvement.  Brown starts by talking about political corruption; no doubt it exists, but that doesn't prove that it was operative in this case.

Possible, but no compelling evidence.  I'd recommend David Kent's&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Forty-Whacks-New-Evidence-in-the-Life-and-Legend-of-Lizzie-Borden/dp/0899093515/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Forty Whacks: New Evidence in the Life and Legend of Lizzie Borden</a>&nbsp;as the best book on the subject

I love Clark, for sure, but the last few seasons have been very confusing and season ten is no exception. People keep dying and coming back to life!  I have no idea who/what is real anymore. Honestly, I'm not sure I care.
The first 5 seasons were primo!  But something changed after that and now I am relieved that poor Clark is released from what must have been a bewildering existence.
Kudos to Tom Welling for being adorable and genuine all the way!

I love Dale Brown, and about all of his books, but I honestly had to go back and check to see if this had a co-author.  The dialogue (of which there is a ton) just didn't seem up to his normal standard.  But over all, it's part of the series, and it's a way to find out how things got to later books.

I love anything with Dale Midkiff in it. I have heard the story so it was very interesting. It was a little drawn out but knowing she was a survivor kept me watching. If Dale wasn't in it, I would not have ordered it.

You know that your career is over when you stoop to doing a movie like this. I think that his career began to slide when he did so many of the sex romp comedy farces in the sixties. His turns in The Boston Strangler and Lepke were outstanding but it was to late, his career was already doomed. He made many, many great movies in the early to mid point of his career. A little known fact about Curtis, he was a crew member aboard the U.S.S. Missouri when the Japanese signed the surrender papers in Tokyo harbor in 1945.

The book was at it's best during combat missions and conflicts between the President and adminstration. But too much time was spent on developing characters that ended up playing little or no role in the books conclusion. While it wasn't the type of book I've come to expect from Dale Brown (i.e. reading into the early morning hours), it was still quite good and I look forward to his next book due to the interesting presidential scenario he has created.

Really Sad with a capital S that the decendants of Schulz will not let biographies go to DVDs and Blu-rays.  This is the first VHS tape I have bought in over 12 years.  Now that the former voice actor for the cartoon character C Brown is in legal trouble, maybe people will want to go back and see what the author's problems were.  One up to date mess can trigger interests that have died down, I hope.

Probably my least favorite of the Dan Brown novels featuring Robert Langdon.  While he did a good job of providing great details of some factual places, religious culture, and science, there was just too much happening in one night to make it even remotely credible.

On top of that there was never really any closure on the points he brought up in the book for either side.  The ending was way too compacted considering the amount of time he spent on details, sometimes way too much time, which left my reading experience unsatisfied.

Definitely not the same caliber of writing and story telling as was done in Davinci Code or Angels & Demons.

I've read all of Dan Brown's books and most had me going off eagerly to check facts and learn more. This book was a good read but didn't stir the desire to reread Dante or puzzle about other characters. Langdon, in this book, really does resemble Tom Hanks and that's a bit sad. I have reread his last few books and found lots of intriguing tidbits. I think this book will sit on the shelf for awhile without a reread. Mr. Brown, please kick it up several notches with your next book...

Dan Brown got his magic back! I admit I enjoyed Da Vinci's Code tremendously and found Lost Symbol a huge letdown. There was a period I was wondering if Dan Brown still got it. With Inferno, it is a Yes.

Europe and its rich culture are Dan Brown's comfort zone. The author was able to take the readers into a fascinating ride. The book got sloppy a little bit toward the end with too much narrative. And the ending is anything but conventional.

I think Inferno is a worthy sequel to Da Vinci's Code, which still ranks no. 1 among Dan Brown's books.

Mailer writes a very fair character study of Lee Oswald.  I remember watching him on TV, in real time as it was all taking place.
I have always thought that he was set up as a "patsy".  He was very young and I believe he was recruited as a low-level operative.  He probably would have never saw a set-up coming; he would not have had any reason to distrust his "handler".  He was eliminated ASAP.  I think it was more than just a coincidence.

This book was thoroughly researched, evidently in an attempt to confirm the FBI version of the hunt for Charles Arthur Floyd.  While the author uses multiple sources, including many from Oklahoma lawmen, when the story reaches the critical time of the Kansas City massacre and afterward, he relies almost solely on information provided by the FBI, which is completely unreliable.  Most eyewitnesses did not place Floyd or Richetti at Union Station at the time of the killings.  The federal prosecutor refused to try Richetti in Federal Court because of lack of evidence.  He was then tried in state court, found guilty, and executed.  Pretty Boy Floyd died from two .45 caliber gunshot wounds to the chest.  How does an individual fleeing law enforcement officers get shot in the chest?  The more one thinks about this incident, the more questions arise.  It is a shame that the truth will never really be known about what happened at Union Station or about how Charley Floyd actually died.
