Deception Point
Dan Brown gives us his most action packed and fastest paced novel to date, at the same time retaining all the complexity of his plots and the continually shifting suspicions of the main characters.
However there are some flaws, too many very short two page chapters, cliff hangers at every switch of the action becoming a mannerism, and with four main strands of plot this is a little too much.
Having said that as always with Dan Brown his research is first class and we are drawn into some fascinating technology and in this case high tech weaponry of a particularly nasty Special Forces unit.
A really great page turning read, don't miss it.
Another pageturner July 21, 2008
NoWireHangers (Sweden)
"Deception Point" is Brown's third novel, written between his two (so far) Robert Langdon books (Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code). Like all of his books, it's a quick read despite being over 500 pages.
The heroine is Rachel Sexton, daughter of a senator/presidential candidate. She's recruited by the president to help examine a meteorite found by NASA, which seems to contain proof of extraterrestrial life. Brown successfully mixes political intrigue, action and science into a page turning thriller. Brown is a teacher and he has the rare ability to educate and share information with his readers without slowing down the pace of his novels. If you can suspend your disbelief for some of the more fantastic sequences, "Deception Point" is a good pageturner.
 A Good Book But A Bit Slow! July 9, 2008
P. ISAACS (Bristol, England)
I didn't get into Deception Point as much as I did with Digital Fortress. The story seemed to take ages to get going. I liked the character development and Brown does write well despite the obvious twists that you just guess a mile off. Also I found the book far too long but at times it had me hooked. Overall I think 3 stars is a fair rating.
scientific-political page-turner July 2, 2008
Stephen Bishop (Darlington, England)
Having been initially reluctant to read this - despite having enjoyed Dan Brown's other three novels - because its setting of American presidential politics did not attract me, in the event I enjoyed it and would rate it as his second best, behind Angels and Demons but ahead of the Da Vinci Code and what I consider the weakest, Digital Fortress - which Deception Point most closely resembles. Many of the same elements are there - government agencies fighting each other, a female protagonist and a cute male academic, a father figure, etc etc, but despite being a bit far-fetched it is more compelling than Digital Fortress probably because the action takes place on a wider scale, and it's also better told than the Da Vinci Code, which has lots of explanatory dialogue of the sort budding authors are told NOT to use. The 'twist' is pretty obvious but not so unbelievable as in Digital Fortress, which has several things in it which are hard to swallow. I'd expect to read this again at some point, which is my main criterion for saying a book is good.
