General - Dan Brown's Novels - View Post

I've read three.

The Da Vinci Code - Absolute crap. I found the characterization and theories regarding the meanings of Da Vinci's art work to be very interesting, but I could have read about that anywhere else. The plot was shoddy and it just felt like it was relying strictly on the shock factor.

Digital Fortress - Interesting. I tought it was ok, but it falls into the same pit that many hacker/techno-espianoge flick falls into: believability. Like the last part when they are trying to crack the password is so dumb. For a good 10 pages I was literally yelling the anwer at the supposedly highly educated characters that specialize in cryptology.

Angels and Demons - Loved it. Granted Dan Brown's writing isn't that great, but the plot had everything. Partical colliders, mysterious historical artifacts and treasures, conspiracy, murderd cleregy men, and and M. Night-esgue twist (which I actually found fairly easy to figure out early in the book), and I am a sucker for an Illuminati premise. Also in this book he had better fleshed out theories and historical manipulation which I found interesting.
