This weekend (ie yesterday) I read Deception Point by Dan Brown. Last week I also reread Angels and Demons and at the end of the book was an excerpt from Deception Point, which doesn’t feature the same characters as Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, or The Lost Symbol but it was still really hard to put down (obviously, since I read it all in one day, enjoying the great weather and then burning 1000 calories on the treadmill because I was determined to finish the book before I stopped exercising and underestimated how long it would take me to finish it) Once I read the excerpt I was already sucked in, and since Keegan has all of Dan Brown’s books, I just borrowed his! Our own little library!
The book was really enjoyable – fast-paced and exciting (if not really that believable) but it was believable enough and I guess that’s where the intrigue lies. I also enjoyed that it was about science and NASA, so that was pretty cool. There were a lot of twists and turns that were unexpected but I did figure out what was going on about 4 pages before Mr. Brown revealed it (as opposed to being blindsided in his other books hah). I enjoyed Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code because I think the history behind them is neat, but I also like the character of Robert Langdon, so that’s why I hadn’t read Dan Brown’s other two books because they're not involving the same people. But last night I started Digital Fortress and I’m about 150 pages into it so I’ll be finishing that up this week too I’m sure (I’m so glad my defense was last week!) This book deals with the NSA, so it’s pretty cool too.
I’m also reading The Hobbit, which I checked out of Duke’s library. I wanted to read The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but The Fellowship of the Ring was checked out and I didn’t want to start in the middle of a trilogy, so I settled for reading the prequel. I’m only about 50 pages into that, so we’ll see if I enjoy it enough to want to read the other LOTR books.
