This book was super slow and I just couldn't get more than halfway through the book. Very surprising considering his other work.
Still one of my all-time favorite books. It's fun to reread it every couple of years. This was my first time listening to the audiobook. It was well done.
It was an entertaining read, but nothing amusing. I think Brown's later works are way better.
Was craving some Dan Brown since last year, had to start 2019 with him!
This one was different as it didn't have the central character of Robert Langdon, that am used to.
The book latches on right from the prologue, and the plot stays that way till the last full stop.
I was surprised to see that this book had a scientific turn, since the author had removed his symbology, allowing him to tread new waters wink wink
Overall a thrilling read, would definitely recommend!
The writing is very annoying sometimes. Dan Brown strives to maintain useless effect. That is why i gave this book four and not five stars. Well, the story is brilliant of course.
I wonder why he goes to such pains at the start of his books to state that he speaks the truth when it's bollocks. To give him credit in this book he's only talking about technology as opposed to nutjob conspiracy theories in his others. Maybe they are real, who knows. (Not me evidently!)
Entertaining read, if you can ignore the absurdity of aspects of the book.
event though some people not like it, but for me this book is good enough to make me curious for what happen next
What I have to say about Dan Brown's books is that they are pretty fabulous yarns. Deception Point builds in intensity beyond the believable. It annoys me that the author deliberately misled his readers: a flaw that I find unforgivable. I believe it is the responsibility of the author to be honest with the readers - an occasional omission might be forgiven, but what he did here... tsk tsk tsk.
Dan Brown should have done himself a favor and published this book under a pen name.
Beautiful intelligence analyst discovers a fake meteorite, falls off a glacier only to be rescued by a US Navy sub, worries about bloodthirsty hammerhead sharks, and might topple a presidency, meanwhile finding a new love as a special ops Delta team tries to kill her.
The second novel by Dan Brown is a much better effort than Digital Fortress. The plot runs along at breakneck pace, as it does in all of his novels, and the characters don't do too many stupid things. Pick up this book if you need to kill a few hours.
The mass-market paperback edition of this book is published by Pocket Books.
