This was pretty bad. Nowhere near the excitement, fast pace, deep character development and enthralling nature of "Davinci Code", "Angels and Demons" or "The Lost Symbol". Having thoroughly enjoyed every other novel I've read of Dan Brown, I was left wondering if he truly wrote this. The book could have easily been condensed down to 200 pages. The cheap tricks to induce suspense will have you rolling your eyes and crying out in frustration by the end, and the dialogue is so cheeky and lame it feels like a joke. I was also bummed because each of Brown's novels I've read before have engrossed me in the subject matter, and created an interest in the topics (historical backgrounds and otherwise) he lays out amid the thrilling stories. Not at all the case here. Very little detail was given about the NSA, computer technology and the country's IT security history (though it would probably be very outdated now anyway). Highly disappointed.
