Not THAT Dan Brown
5 May 2004
Format:Paperback
If you're looking for another book along the lines of Da Vinci Code, this is not it. "Matter" is a book of poems written by a completely different Dan Brown.
Having said that, this book is definately worth the read. It's only around 50 pages, but the poems are full of power and wit. Some excellent poetry from an excellent writer, give it a try.

Be Aware Before Purchasing
29 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
I have read all of Dan Brown's books, that is, Dan Brown author of The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and Digital Fortress. This book called Matter is NOT the same author but a poet. Before making the same mistake as I did, unless you specifically want this poet and book of poetry, BEWARE that this is not the Dan Brown author most of us have become familiar with.
You know...I agree that everyone SHOULD be responsible for their own actions and decisions...and fine - this Dan Brown preceeds the Da Vinci Code Dan Brown...but it was an extremely peculiar way I must admit that Amazon grouped the two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT writers together for a "Combo" book deal. To me, it was a surprise finding a fictional book combined with poetry, much like a Vegetarian ordering a meat-free cookbook and finding the seller combined the purchase with a Gift Certificate to Outback Steak House. TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PREFERENCES. However one looks at it, the point many readers find helpful is that this is probably NOT the Dan Brown they are looking for.

Buyer Beware!
30 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
If you are expecting, as I was, that this book is similar to "Angels & Demons," "Deception Point," or "The DaVinci Code," you will be GREATLY disappointed. I did not read these "editorial reviews" before placing my order. Instead I relied on the Amazon.com banner that "Customers who bought this book also bought: Deception Point and Angels & Demons."
I do not think that one should have to read well into "what others are saying" before they get a VERY CLEAR description of what Amazon.com is selling.
And watch out -- you will not get all of your costs back because of Amazon's failure to clearly list the content in the top screen of the description.
