Once you read a few of his books, you really see how his writing doesn't compare to some other authors.Emidy @ Une Parolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424121360029235229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382384867180683130.post-35462257906230642812010-01-30T00:46:23.354-05:002010-01-30T00:46:23.354-05:00Oh, I didn't like this one either!

The thing that kept me leafing through the pages was because I was very curious about the whole mystery. I have the other two of his - The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons - on my shelf. Seriously hope these two could be even more entertaining! I like your honesty in this review =) A very good one.Shyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09640490582050902601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382384867180683130.post-42413345936289686272010-01-28T01:15:46.801-05:002010-01-28T01:15:46.801-05:00I agree with you about this book, it is my least f...I agree with you about this book, it is my least favorite of Dan Brown's books.

If I am going to invest over 8 hours on a book, I'd expect to be dazzled. Sure it's nice to read a book with proper language and very literary...but I'd take an entertaining book over boring books (like Slammerkin for example), dreary, dark and non-entertaining book every time.<br /><br />I like Digital Fortress, although I have to agree with you that it's exciting but not much meat. But then, I'm easily entertained. And in entertainment department, Dan Brown does not disappoint.Shoshanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413291283753169902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382384867180683130.post-80472689662772987452010-01-26T19:16:13.200-05:002010-01-26T19:16:13.200-05:00I agree about Dan Brown being an entertainer more...I agree about Dan Brown being an entertainer more than an author.

I read all of his books except the last one and enjoyed them to some extent, but they're just not what I go for. Decent escapism though. :)Bookalicious Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811880304474779063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382384867180683130.post-48779100103509380232010-01-26T11:36:17.123-05:002010-01-26T11:36:17.123-05:00Nely: Thanks for visiting!
