Digital Fortress is another outstanding Dan Brown novel. Fast paced, highly educational and entertaining. If you want a good read that is full of action and mystery then this is a must read.
a little bit dated but overall a good read

Liked it, but it lacked the specific details that his later books have. Still worth reading

I like his other books better.
A little technical for me but a good story of codebreaking and national security.
