I did. I thought the reading was over the top. The book, on the other hand, was just horrible.

Oh God, ditto about The Da Vinci Code. I thought the reader was terrible. Every time the main character said anything I thought he was going to say, “Because I’m a _handsome man_.” Sophie Marceau sounded like some type of French Maid stereotype. I didn’t like the reader or the book. I gave up on disc 4.
