Dan Brown - Deception Point

Pros: Great plot idea, fast paced, brilliantly concocted, full of fascinating facts
Cons: Not as gripping as Brown's other books, a little dragged out, not as suspenseful

As I assume was the case for many people, the The Da Vinci Code was the first Dan Brown book that I read. I was ecstatic to learn he had three other books. I read Angels & Demons second, because it was most closely related to The ...

Pros: Strong, realistic characters and exciting use of innovative technologies!
Cons: What cons?

President Zachary Herney, the incumbent in a hotly contested presidential race, is a strong supporter of a publicly funded NASA, open to the scientific community at large. His opponent, Senator Sedgewick Sexton, has made overspending and mismanagement at ...

Pros: Well-developed characters, lightning-fast read, good thrills and twists
Cons: Ending is really rushed and a bit drawn-out

Like everyone else on the planet, I heard of Dan Brown only through The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, then proceeded to learn of his other two books, Digital Fortress and this one, Deception Point. Of all the books he ...

Pros: Thriller with a truly novel plot.
Cons: Longish.

If you were entertained by Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, a book which daringly sparred with historic Christianity, you may enjoy the third of his four thrillers, Deception Point, a work which explores ...

Pros: Worth reading while sitting on a hot beach with a beer
Cons: The worst of the Dan Brown novels

I've been putting off reading Deception Point because I wasn't confident of how it would be. I'd read Digital Fortress, his other political thriller and been much less impressed than I had been when I read his blockbuster novels ...

Pros: Science, politics, complex intrigues, miraculous escapes---
Cons: Fantastic situations, sometimes contrived.

"Deception Point" is the third of Dan Brown's four novels, and it follows a pattern of intense intrigue he has used successfully in his other novels. Again, Brown skillfully hooks the reader into his story with a brief prologue describing a brutal ...

Pros: Well, I managed to finish it.
Cons: Shocking. Not. Thrilling. Not. Exciting. Not.

Deception Point is what happens when an author tries to write science fiction that isn't science fiction in an attempt to appeal to the masses. Reading this book might give you a better idea of why Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code isn't as ...

Pros: Better characters; suspsenseful
Cons: Not as suspenseful or mind-blowing as some of his other books

Pros: Exciting, interesting plot, good dialogue
Cons: Unrealistic at times

Having read "Angels and Demons", "Digital Fortress" and the obligitory "Da Vinci Code", I was aware that Dan Brown had published another book, but it wasn't until an acquaintance said that "Deception Point" was his best that I decided to give it a shot. ...

Pros: A tense, gripping page turner from a master of the art
Cons: Somewhat predictable and characters typical of the author - not a major departure

Like most of you, I came to Dan Brown through the Da Vinci Code. As someone who is naturally interested in books on religion and history, I was fascinated by the whole phenomenon and the ideas it sparked and quickly followed up my initial read with ...

Pros: Great plot, well written, fast paced, better characters
Cons: none

I have read all four Dan Brown books. I started with the Da Vinci code and worked my way up to Deception Point. I love all four Dan Brown books but I feel this one deserves much more credit than it often receives. The writing is still top notch with ...

Pros: Brown's mastery of the genre, superb level of detail.
Cons: A silly ending, slow in (occasional) places.

Like every other human being on the face of this planet, I came across Dan Brown via the excellent D a Vinci Code. Faced with choosing one of his other three titles to digest next, I opted to steer clear of the ...

Pros: Fast Pace, Plot!!
Cons: Similarity with other plots of Dan Brown!!

Introduction Dan Brown is an international celebrity now after the brilliant success of Da Vinci Code. I myself loved the book, and since then I have checked out some of his other books like Angels and Demons and Digital ...

Pros: Relevency of plot, good characters, intense action
Cons: not as compelling as the "big two."

Dan Brown had to start somewhere - and this is it. Having read his big sellers, I was curious about this book; it is not as well conceived as the biggies, but it is close. The main plot is that NASA has been failing and is losing its relevance in a ...

Pros: detailed descriptions, great chase scenes, fast-moving storyline
Cons: romance of the story adds little, too much scientific detail for some

Like most people who have come to read Dan Brown's other books, I first read "Da Vinci Code," where I fell in love with Brown's fact-filled, energy-driven writing. This book, "Deception Point" is one of his earlier works, and because all of his works are ...
