I can still remember a good few years ago now, when nobody had ever heard of author, Dan Brown. He was just another hack thriller writer who had gone under the radar without making any kind of a splash. Then came The Da Vinci Code with all the scandal and controversy that came with it (and how much of that was a Dan Brown marketing and P.R ...  Read the complete review

'Digital Fortress' is a book that was written by Dan 'the Da Vinci Code' Brown somewhat before (I think in 2004; it's a little difficult for me to tell because it's been re-released in so many new editions since it was first published) he really hit the big time with his better known series of 'religious symbology / conspiracy theory' thrillers. ...  Read the complete review

Digital Fortress is a book that gets into the plot almost right away, unlike other fiction where the author narrates a whole lot before getting on the real story. I am certainly not a very patient reader who will read/wait forever for the plot to start and get interesting. But this book had me hooked on almost instantaneously. This was one and ...  Read the complete review

Like most people who tackle Digital Fortress by Dan Brown these days, they loved the Da Vinci Code and want more of the same. This book satisfies the need to a certain degree with some mysteries, some crimes, some twists and turns and a few (but not many) thrills. Overall I was not particularly impressed with this book and I'm glad I borrowed it ...  Read the complete review

I am not a great conniseur of books, but i have to say this is the best book i have ever, and probably ever will, read, rivalled only by other titles from the illustrious author, Dan Brown. The cover of the book is superbly illustrated with a picture of a safe on the front. THe story follows a crytographer, or code breaker, susan ...  Read the complete review

To say this is Dan Brown's best book is now understatement. But since he has actually made a career out of more or less writing the same book four times (five when the Solomon Key finally makes an appearance, I am sure) then it is pretty obvious that the original will be the best. Basic premise of a Dan Brown book is this: a male lead and a ...  Read the complete review

Digital Fortress is a good book. Though, not as good The Da Vinci Code nor Angels and Demons. The story revolves around the NSA( National Security Agency). The finest decrypting machine in the NSA has not yet decoded a certain message. The NSA fears that this could be their worst nightmare; a message employing the rotating clear text algorithm. ...  Read the complete review

Dan Brown's Digital Fortress is probably my favourite book out of all Dan Brown's heart-racing thrillers. And I would highly reccomend reading this book, but i will talk about what i think of this book later. THE PLOT: The 'invincible' code-breaking machine ran by the National Security Agency, encounters a mysterious code it ...  Read the complete review

Despite hints from some people to the contrary, I am not a terrible book snob. I read crime, fantasy, s-f, thrillers and chick-lit quite frequently and historical romances from time to time. But even a `genre` book needs to have a modicum of quality. Sadly, `Digital Fortress` does not. It`s a debut novel of Dan Brown that has been ...  Read the complete review

Digital Fortress is a thriller. Not your usual, run of the mill, brainless, tom Clancy style thriller; but a thriller with a brain! The story goes as so: the American National Security Agency (NSA) has a secret, code-breaking computer that is supposed to be able to crack any code or encryption; but then it comes across a code it cannot ...  Read the complete review

For fear of the Da Vinci Code being too hard to get into I decided to start with 'Digital Fortress'. The ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ I miss Tom Clancy. Or should I say I miss the Tom Clancy of old, who wrote such belting thrillers as ‘Patriot Games’, ‘The Hunt For Red October’, and ‘The Sum Of All Fears’. But while waiting for the plane to France for this year’s holiday I picked up the best-selling novel “The Da Vinci Code” by American author Dan Brown in the airport ...  Read the complete review
