A book by Dan Brown which is currently being turned into a film, due out sometime in 2009.
You must read this book before Hollywood makes a mockery of it. It's one of the best modern thriller's I've ever read.
Dan Brown's research and stooy telling are flawless. There's endless twists, a Satanic cult, the historical battle of science vs religion, multi-billion pound corporations, an historical treasure trail and of course the usual romance that every book inevitably must have.
The book is based on the same character as the Da Vinci Code, but is unquestionably better. When the Da Vinci Code was released, most of the people that had already read Angels & Demons found it to be a disappointing effort of cashing in on the success of Angels & Demons. Myself included.
There's so many twists and turns, and a lot of factual insight used to create this book. It ranks amongst my modern favourites, and I seriously can't recommend it enough.

Erm... 50/50 for me.
Digital Fortress is a terrible book. It's got an extremely weak storyline and drags on far too long without ever really accumulating any suspense. Dan Brown's most abysmal effort in my opinion. 2/10
The Da Vinci Code is a good read. Has a few too many similarities to Angels and Demons and does seem like Dan Brown's simply trying to cash in on the success of that at times, however it's still well researched and a good read. 6/10
Deception Point is very good. The ending was a bit of a let down, but the rest of the storyline was pretty much flawless. Definitely his second best in my opinion. 8/10

| I thought Deception point & A&D were both better that DVC.

Yep, agree entirely. Digital Fortress however was piss-poor.
