I can't stand the fact that a fucking dimestore thriller novel is getting all these specials on the national geographic channel.

It's getting all the discovery/national geographic attention because it is an interesting story. Like you I thought it was a serious investigative novel and Dan Brown only appears to have taken notes from another book(Holy Blood, Holy Grail which seems to be the real investigating book done by people who seriously researched the matter.) and wrapped it around a bunch of his own fiction. I probably enjoyed the specials I've seen more than I'll ever enjoy the book or film. I plan on seeing the movie, having second thoughts about the book but it wouldn't be the first time morbid curiosity pulled me in if I did read it.
