Deception Point - 6/10

I would rate this novel from Dan Brown in the end of the list of all his novels.
Having set his standards with Da Vinci Code, this is truly not upto that point.

Frankly i really pushed myself to get thru few pages.
He went into more explanations of facts in many ocassions which was not so interesting too.
This was not the case in his other novels.

Also i could figure out in advance two major turning points of the novel in advance.
May be i got used to his writing style or was it a blind guess, i dono.

70% of the novel is really good. especially the last 150-170 pages.
But the efforts he had put in collecting in some amazing facts about space science, marine science etc were fantastic.

Probably he could have given those in a better mix of story and facts.

If anybody wanted to read Dan Brown novels , here is the order i would suggest.

-- Da Vinci Code
-- Angels and Demons
-- Digitial Fortress
-- Deception Point

Am eagerly waiting for his next novel to be released.
