This book was different from Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, but the same. It was the same because Dan Brown obviously has a formula and he is sticking to it. Take one male lead, one female shadow, one mystery bad guy only unmasked in the last few pages, and add 3 or 4 other lightweight characters. Mix in a plot revolving around a current "hot" or "in" topic, and that's a Dan Brown book. Deception Point has all those. What is doesn't have which makes it different, is the multiple twists and turns that the other two books have. Somehow it still manages to be a good read, especially the second half.The final scene, the climatic moment, was really quite epic and I can imagine Hollywood salivating at the prospect of producing that scene. The only problem is I don't think Hollywood will be getting all hot and sweaty over the previous 450 pages, so I doubt this will follow Da Vinci Code into the movies.Next - Digital Fortress....
