it's a great “beach read“, ya know? very fun and dramatic, but not a serious book. good for when you're in the mood for something light.

I wouldn't say this was my favourite Dan Beown book as i felt the plot was a little bit predictable. However, i did enjoy the read 🌟🌟🌟

Well written book with a good amount of suspense and thrill. Though I could guess a few twists, the book was a very good entertainer. I would recommend it to all those who reads novel for a pure enjoyment rather than for criticism...

Dan Brown is always entertaining. So many twists and turns. The story always keeps you thinking and is enticing until the end. Interesting parallels with today‘s governmental influence of control of information.

Although this Dan Brown book was published in 1998, the story‘s interesting parallels with today‘s governmental‘s influence over control of information is engrossing until the end!

CoverToCoverGirl Believe it or not I‘ve never read any of his books. 5y
DieAReader I was a huge fan of DaVinci Code but not Angels & Demons (didn‘t even watch the movie lol) This was a stand alone & that‘s the only reason I got it tbh 5y
bookcollecter Great book and nearly before it's time....aka before #Snowden & #Assange 5y
bookcollecter You may also like another earlier work of his #DeceptionPoint again this one is almost prophetic considerimy what they found in Antartica recently 5y

Dan Brown‘s books are always so hard to put down! Non-stop action and interesting storylines. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was completely entertained & flew through this one.

Mr. Brown does it again & I'm not mad at him. 🤗

Dove into Mr. Brown's backlist this morning over breakfast. 😋

Already 10 chapters in & I'm loving it.
It has strong 'Langdon' vibes but set in high stakes technology arena. (Think NSA & national security)

Or perhaps I feel that bc it's narrated by the same guy who reads all the Robert Langdon books- I love his voice. 👂👍

Have a feeling I'll be finishing this one fairly quickly! 🤓

Zelma Mr. Z just devoured Origin. I will recommend this one to him when he needs another Dan Brown. 6y
MarticaMustRead 👍Awesome @Zelma , I think he'll enjoy it! 6y

I am a Dan Brown fan and I've loved 'Angels and Demons' and 'Da Vinci Code'. Digital Fortress is an exciting and thought-provoking debut from author Dan Brown. With nonstop action and a fascinating plot Digital Fortress is an example of the techno-thriller at its very best. I have mixed opinion about the ending. It was good but didn't have the WOW factor like the other books. I personally feel being a debut novel, it was quite good.
4.2/5⭐

I am a big Dan Brown fan. This is his first novel and it shows. Although the book has a great pace with non-stop action, much of what transpires is fueled by coincidence. While a cryptographer struggles to decipher an unbreakable code, her fiancé is sent to Spain to retrieve a ring that holds the key. There‘s a great deal going on with the the two tales and the security of the U.S. hangs in the balance. Plausibility is at a minimum here.

It's a fun read as long as you :
A) don't mind that the main female character is of course very smart but also has to be very attractive,
B) are willing to overlook a few incohérences and too many coincidences in the story,
C) remember that it was written when Netscape was the best tool for 'websearch'...

I don't think there's anything this man could write that I wouldn't just devour!!! Had two days off in a row and got some much needed reading time in! Read half the book in 4 hours total! LOVE this!!

This was a reread from high school, and I definitely enjoyed it more when I was 14. It was a little predictable and anticlimactic to me. Hard core Dan Brown fans might enjoy this, but everyone else might want to skip it

Catching up on #readjanuary Day 13 - book set in my city. I pulled this one from my TBR pile. I live in the Virginia suburbs of Washington DC and this book is set in the Maryland suburbs of DC, but it's all DC. 🙂

Oh my dear Lord!! So many twists and turns, felt like a roller coster ride. People around me thought i was crazy with my eyes suddenly going wide and my jaw dropping open. There were moments when I was holding my breath and didn't realise it until i let go...
Absolutely enjoyed every single bit of it!

I tried four times reading this... Every time I got to chapter two and gave up.

No. Bad. Even I, at 14, knew this was garbage.
