This was the first of Brown's novels I had read, and it looks likely to be my last. The characters were as flat as pancakes and not especially believable, Brown's treatment of the technology shallow and uninteresting, and the sadistic coworker villain straight from central casting. Next!

Check out Neal Stephenson's tome "Cryptonomicon" for a good novel with cryptography as a plot element.

Suspense for even those that are not computer gurus. Brown weaves a story of believable intrigue about what our bureaucrats in D.C. are doing reading our email and listening to our cell phones.

This book kept me going until the very end. Full of twists and turns, a great read!

Ultimately a love story but the technological basis of the story kept me riveted until the end. Well written and masterful in content and development of characters and story line. An intense thriller.

Another great Dan Brown novel. Couldn't put it down.

The most amazing thing about this book is how closely it parallels the things that have been reported lately in the news about Julian Assange. You remember - that guy who founded WikiLeaks. By a coincidence, as I was reading this book, the news was reporting claims by Mr. Assange that I was reading. I have no doubt that he read this book years ago.

A must-read for today.
