I just finished reading Deception Point by Dan Brown. Another intriguing read! Once you read two of his books you can figure out his recipe real quick...a strong heroine, a romantic hero, a quick paced hunt, and a villian who is least likely to figure out...Unfortunatly, perhaps because of that, I was able to figure out the villian in this particular novel.
What I really like about his books are all the little pieces of trivia and knowledge that he hides in each story. You learn alot of little things along the way that are really cool.
If you haven't read any Dan Brown, I highly reccomend them. Find the one with the topics that interest you the most...but I think you'll find that if you like his style, you'll like any of his books. He is a great story teller, and his short chapters and quick pace make his books easy to read and hard to put down. I'll list below each of his books and key polt points:
Deception Point: NASA, Politics (US Presedential race), Spy technology
Digital Fortress: NSA (National Security Agency), code breaking technology, the debate between personal privacy and National Security.
Angels and Demons: The Vatican and its rituals, Religion versus Science, an ancient brotherhood known as the Illuminatti whose goal it is to destroy the Catholic Church, and sculptures around Rome.
DaVinci Code: sequal to Angels and Demons. Art (DaVinci's), Religion (and its suggested role as a political tool), The search for and history of one of the most quested thing in religious history, and of those who know what it truly is.
Happy Reading!
