This is the book that I liked the least among the six that I have read by Brown.

The plot seemed a bit weak in some parts, and its central theme, which involves codes, algorithms, and all the high-tech aspects of computers, couldn't really seem as impressive to me as it might have seemed twenty years ago when I regarded the monitor next to my PC as a superior deity.

It's entertaining as a read, but that's about it.

Overall, while it has its moments, it doesn't quite measure up to some of his other works. The story could have been more engaging and the technological elements could have been presented in a more captivating way.

Perhaps if I had read it at a different time in my life, I might have had a different perspective. However, as it stands, it's just an okay read that didn't leave a lasting impression on me.

The story was first published in 1998.

Well, what's the problem?

There are no problems at all.

The simple problem is that it talks about technologies on the Internet,

such as programming, hacking, and codes.

The electronic world makes you feel that we are dealing with a computer.

It used to be radio and television.

I stopped and read this story like this once.

I don't understand.

The man says important and clear things. He knows how to talk well about what?

Because Dan Brown doesn't write to make a living hard.

The man writes and does long research for years.

Well, for this story,

about the Internet in 1998,

what's left?

A lovely trick that fooled me at the end of the story, and that's it, and our parents are completely fine and everyone knows his head from the man.

Faithful, at the last page,

he gives you a lovely gift.

128 - 10 - 93 - 85 - 10 - 128 - 98 - 112 - 6 - 6 - 25 - 126 - 39 - 1 - 68 - 78

A code for you.

I and a friend of mine, for a while, tried to understand the religion.

And the other finally convinced me, saying, assume we have two factors, and we solve it.

And the other,

it comes out.

It was done, praise be to God.

How do you feel?

: )

I discovered at that time how it was solved and I was turning around it.

The solution was simple, by God.

There is nothing for us.

A story of the world of networks, the Internet, and hackers,

and all the people who are dealing with each other.

Dan Brown hits the mark here.

Trash

With impossible computer concepts, a story flatter than a dead line, and overly clichéd characters, to say it's trash is an understatement. The so-called "plot" seems to be cobbled together without any real thought or creativity. The computer concepts presented are not only far-fetched but also lack any real depth or coherence. The characters are one-dimensional and predictable, failing to engage the reader or viewer on any meaningful level. It's as if the creators simply went through the motions, relying on tired tropes and stereotypes instead of trying to come up with something original and engaging. In short, this is a prime example of why some works should never see the light of day. It's a waste of time and resources, and a disappointment to anyone who was hoping for something better.

A truly remarkable story and one of the best police novels in the world.

Its style is extremely unique as each chapter ends with a great surprise that contradicts what you read at the beginning.

It makes you extremely eager to know what will happen and if you take a little guess and try to predict the course of events based on your in-depth reading, you will not succeed because the author's style is very exciting and keeps you in a state of confusion until the last page, and even the last line of the story is very exciting and highly anticipated.

This story has a special charm that attracts readers and makes them unable to put it down until they finish reading the whole thing. It is a must-read for those who love police novels and exciting stories.

There's a reason why everyone talks about The DaVinci Code and not about this book. I have no idea what that reason would be. I thought Angels & Demons was mediocre, so I never bothered to read The DaVinci Code. Anyway, one day I was bored and a copy of this was sitting at the library for a quarter. I thought, "WTF, mate, I'll give it a go."


The first page of chapter 1 starts with Susan Fletcher waking from a romantic dream to the ringing of the telephone. "Susan, it's David. Did I wake you?" She smiled, rolling over in bed. "I was just dreaming of you. Come over and play." He laughed. "It's still dark out." "Mmm." She moaned sensuously. "Then definitely come over and play. We can sleep in before we head north."


That is not a transcription typo, or the manifestation of my unfocused rage. It really does read '"Mmm." She moaned sensuously.' Please feel free to vomit if you need to; I'll wait.


David then proceeds to postpone their plans to celebrate their six-month engagement due to something hush-hush, like maybe his being a big homo. C'mon, what sort of man is going to pass up some sweet, sweet lovin' from his woman before disappearing on a mystery mission? The kind who likes other men, that's what kind. A handful of pages later, it becomes clear that Dan Brown has read too many Clive Cussler novels as we're treated to a description of David Becker. "Becker was dark--a rugged, youthful thirty-five with sharp green eyes and a wit to match. His strong jaw and taut features reminded Susan of carved marble. Over six feet tall, Becker moved across a squash court faster than any of his colleagues could comprehend. After soundly beating his opponent, he would cool off by dousing his head in a drinking fountain and soaking his tuft of thick, black hair. Then, still dripping, he'd treat his opponent to a fruit shake and a bagel."


Is it just me or does this read like Dan Brown was typing this with one hand? Why does Mr. Stud have the same initials as the author? Why would anyone want a sharp green wit? And is 'fruit shake' some sort of code for a handy? Is that why he is still dripping?


So then, after all this ran through my immature little mind, I remembered I had other books to read--books that didn't suck horrifically within the first ten pages. Yay for other books! Oh, and I sold it to a used book shop for a dollar, so it was worth the quarter. Yay for used book shops!

Dan Brown's unique style that I think I have become accustomed to is present in the cliffhanger at the end of the novel.

The events in the digital fortress unfold within a single day, full of excitement. It's the hunt game that characterizes Dan Brown's style. Just when you think it's about to end, a series of other events emerge, increasing the complexity of the story's plot.

I don't think there are many books like Dan Brown's that can make me smile one moment because I think I've solved the mystery, and then frown the next because I feel that the author, while narrating, has planned to disappoint the readers and push them to use their minds more. This is one of those novels that made me laugh sarcastically at the end when I realized that most of my guesses were not even close to the truth, and also because of the relaxation that the events brought me.

Wonderful as always, Dan Brown.

Oh Dan Brown, how I love to hate you.

It seems to be a universal truth that when you have exhausted all the books you brought with you, it becomes nearly impossible to find decent reading material wherever you are.

Shamefully, I have actually read most of his books. I read "Angels and Demons" because someone recommended it to me. Although I found his writing to be extraordinarily poor, I was intrigued by the story enough to overlook that fact. I failed to guess the ending, and it presented some fascinating ideas about history. I read "The Da Vinci Code" because everyone was reading it and because I liked "Angels and Demons". The writing in "The Da Vinci Code" was equally bad, but I noticed many similarities in the plots of the two novels. However, it was still an entertaining read, so I decided to forgive it.

Then, on my way to Costa Rica, I realized that I didn't bring enough books for the plane ride. I went to the bookstore in Charlotte, North Carolina, and picked up "Deception Point", yet another Dan Brown masterpiece. The plot of this book was like "The Da Vinci Code Goes Arctic". That's when I realized that Dan Brown had come up with one good plot and was simply recycling it over and over again.

Even so, faced with the options of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" or "He's Just Not In To You", I picked up "Digital Fortress". I do think his writing is improving, but I had the ending of the book figured out within the first ten pages. I didn't even have to read the ending first to know what was going to happen. Maybe I'll register "Digital Fortress" on BookCrossing and send it out into the world.

Kumbrmjah wa kqar'ah tmkn hth al-'amal mn al-tasallul lil-'aql wa al-qalb lathra'ah al-'ilmi wal-lughawi...


This work, being programmed and readable, is able to infiltrate the mind and heart with its scientific and linguistic treasures...


It is a beautiful and expected work from Dan Brown. His works are always known for their captivating plots, rich historical and cultural backgrounds, and thought-provoking themes. This particular work seems to continue in the same vein, promising to take readers on an exciting journey through the realms of knowledge and mystery. Whether it's the exploration of scientific concepts or the unraveling of linguistic puzzles, Dan Brown has a talent for engaging his audience and keeping them on the edge of their seats. We can't wait to see what this new work has in store for us.

When the code-breaking machine at the National Security Agency (NSA) encountered a mysterious code that defied resolution, the agency reached out to Susan Fletcher, the brilliant and beautiful chief of code analysis, a specialist in intelligent and elegant mathematics. What was uncovered had the potential to send shockwaves through the highest echelons of power. The NSA had become a hostage, not to guns or bombs, but to an incredibly complex code that could cripple US intelligence if unleashed. Fletcher found herself in a maelstrom of secrecy and lies, fighting to save the agency to which she owed her loyalty. However, after being deceived from all sides, she realized she was not only fighting for her country but for her life and, ultimately, for the life of the man she loved.

As is his trademark, Dan Brown has crafted yet another remarkable novel. This story delves deep into the world of puzzles and codes, at times leaving the reader bewildered by its complexity. It is a world filled with mystery, action, and adventure, making you feel as if you are part of an intense action movie, but with a depth and detail that demands your serious attention.

Brown once again employs the backdrop of the largest and most secretive US agencies, delving into their inner workings with astonishing detail. He also takes us on a thrilling journey through the world of codes and puzzles, interweaving elements of crime and action. Amidst all this, the novel also explores religious and psychological themes. It's important to note that in exchange for using such a wealth of information about codes and puzzles, Brown has chosen Spain as the setting for much of the story, and it is a choice that pays off handsomely. On the other hand, the novel also explores the theme of hatred and vengeance that can fester within a person due to the circumstances they face. Overall, this is a beautiful novel that is rich in information and detail, offering readers a truly immersive experience. While there were a few moments when the plot became a bit convoluted, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an exciting and thought-provoking read.

This spine-wrecking thriller is an absolute masterpiece that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I was completely engrossed in the story and never could I put my popcorn down. The plot was filled with twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. The characters were well-developed and the acting was superb. It's no wonder that this movie has made it onto my lists this year as a complete and comprehensive review. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good thriller.






Every moment of this movie was filled with suspense and excitement. The director did an excellent job of creating a tense atmosphere that had me on pins and needles. The special effects were top-notch and added to the overall realism of the movie. I can't wait to watch it again!

This was just okay for me.

I think I expected more because I enjoyed his others so much.

His previous works had always managed to capture my attention and leave a lasting impression.

However, this particular one didn't quite reach the same level.

Maybe it was the plot that felt a bit lacking or the characters that didn't seem as fully developed.

Despite that, there were still some redeeming qualities.

The writing style was as engaging as ever, and there were a few moments that made me smile.

Overall, while it wasn't a disappointment, it also wasn't the masterpiece I was hoping for.

I'm still looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next, as I believe he has the talent to create something truly amazing.
