It's been a long time since a book made me cry.

The story, in usual Dan Brown style, started great - I really got into it and thought it was going to be another 4 or 5 day read. It's now 2 or 3 months later and I have absolutely no motivation to finish the rest of the book.

It is a shame as I'm sure the underlying storyline would have panned out to his usual exciting twist - but the amount of factual inaccuracies was too much (dealing with encryption is part of my job so I'm extremely biased).

Being one of his earlier works (published 17 years ago), you can tell hsi works improve greatly over time - I still think Dan Brown is a brilliant author and look forward to his next novel.

It is a good book, but not a style I personally enjoyed - had to force myself to read the next chapter again and again.

Loved this book so much! Knowing the community, some parts of this book weren't quite believable - however this is explained by the author at the end of the book (being more about positive exposure than factual accuracy).
This book is definitely aimed at a teenage audience and I think I would have enjoyed it even more if it had been aimed at a slightly older audience, but that does not in any way make it less enjoyable.
A brilliant book. I wish more people would read it.

I wouldn't normally like this style of writing, but it's been a while since I have read something similar. I can't tell if my reading preferences are changing or an endearment to the skill of the author. I'll start the next in the series and find out!
