Deception Point by Dan Brown Deception Point by Dan Brown Those of you who know Dan Brown only from the DaVinci Code, will not be disappointed. Like other Brown novels, this one takes a few chapters to get going. You need the set the scene and get to know the principal characters. It may seem a bit slow. In fact, I almost got bored enough to quit. I’m glad I didn’t. Like an avalanche, once it got started, the novel steadily picked up speed until I was hardly able to put it down to eat, sleep, or go to work. The last half would make a fine script for an intense action movie (if only the fans of action movies could stay awake through the first half so they know and care about why things are happening and the implications). In the beginning of the novel, Mr. Brown notes that all of the technology mentioned therein really does exist. By the end of the book, this has become a bit frightening to accept. Especially if you realize that by the time the intelligence community admits something to the public – it is only because they have got something even better. I think Dan Brown could make a conspiracy theorist out of anybody – LOL. But risk it - it’s worth it. Posted: Monday 24th December 2007, 1:02 PM Back to the Blog
