pixie its a kinda follow up from the da vinci code etc,this is the forth book in the series

I loved the first two I read until I read the one about a 'big brother' machine that monitored and decoded all email communications. It just seemed too far-fetched to me and I didn't enjoy it. After that I didn't fancy reading any more.
But maybe I'll try this one. Thanks

[DJHawkes]

or 6.99 if you spend £12.00 on stationary or books

I was the same with the DaVinci code when it first came out. I became engrossed and half believed he had unearthed something major about our history, and was a little disappointed in the end

[DJHawkes]

I'm sick of seeing it lol

[SlackAlice]

It's on my hit list

I think you're talking about "Digital Fortress" ... that one is absolute tripe and has to be his worst book by a long way; but maybe I think that way because I'm a bit of a techie and can see the massive holes and nonsense in it.

By far his best of the five I've read is "Deception Point", which like Digital Fortress is not a Robert Langdon book. All the Langdon books are pretty average IMO, and sometimes I find it hard to willingly suspend my disbelief (e.g. when people keep going after falling out of a helicopter). I've heard is latest book (Inferno) is poor literary fodder but an excellent page-turner, so I'll probably give it a chance this summer. But if you want a good Dan Brown - it's Deception Point in my experience.

Thanks, Kate. Will give it a go!

Just out of interest,we went to Roslyn Chapel (Da Vinci Code) when we were in Scotland and it was being restored from a very bad state,so obviously the publicity from the film and book had done some good. I love his books by the way.

[woofgang]

Its popcorn entertainment but i am enjoying it.

[slinky.kate]

j have read all his books and deception point was a favourite

[erin-x]

I've read all the Robert Langdon books and I am loving Inferno! I'm about quarter of the way through and it is just as gripping as the rest of them :-)

I think you can get it from Sainsburys for £6 if you spend some amount in the store.

I am loving it. I am just back from a hectic school trip to Florence amd looking up the places mentioned in the book makes me want to return without 50 children to distract me. Fabulous place.
