Deception Point by Dan BrownMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Usual Dan Brown script..
Plenty of information. Suspense plot. This time there is no sign of religion or rituals. It is full of science (astrophysics) and politics (the dirty part mostly).
He is one of my favorite authors :)
I like the way he fills the story with lots of information. He did the same in this book too.
But the problem of reading more of Dan Brown is that the suspense which (is one of the reasons that) attracted me towards him is not there anymore. Before even reaching middle of the story, the antagonist can be judged, provided you have read many of his works already. His writing has became predictive with time. Sad truth!
I think it's time for him to come up with something unusual. It's time for a change..
*********Spoiler Alert*********
This book reminded me digital fortress in many places. Can't help it..
Powerful, good natured Head of a powerful secret organization turns negative because of some reason which he finds to be good enough to do bad deeds.
Female protagonist.
Protagonist trusts antagonist with her life, treats him more of a fatherly figure.
Morally ambitious character which looks bad but not that bad in reality, dies because of antagonist.
Aliased mail ID.
Element of nature playing major role. Almost ends protagonist's life, kills antagonist (fire in digital fortress, water in deception point).
