Three Hats!
The other critics were not so effusive-
Ian Rankin says "he's a Mars bar that's been left in the fryer entirely too long, if you know what I mean."
Dan Brown says "In one regard, I'm sorry that I've spent any time at all around Cormac. You'd think with that last name, he would be a somewhat regular fellow, right? On the other hand, yes, I did base Silas on him. Obviously he's not an albino, but his tendency to flagellate himself...well, I've said enough."
Jackie Collins says "if I were to write a book about him, it would be titled 'Hollywood Hacks."
Tom Wolfe says "do you know what that bastard did the last time I was in the Hamptons? When I went swimming, he dyed all of my suits green. All of them and all the clothing in my suitcase, for good measure. He's not an author, he's a menace to civility and I'm lighting a great big bonfire to his insanity."
