To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. But let's start with the good - I do like the way Dan Brown plays with the rhythm of the book. That's all really.
The rest - a possibly decent plot completely gone bad. Cheesy characters is possibly the best way to describe them. Very thick cryptographers. I don't mind sexy geek chicks, in fact I'm having wet dreams of that sort, but in this book the one descends to the norm 'the beauty in need of protection'. And if I add to the mix all of the factual blunders, incosistencies concerning computers, cyphers and other 'specialist' knowledge I can only suggest don't waste your time or money on this one.
If the DaVinci code is ten times better than this I wouldn't bother getting it from the library.
Other than that, fair enough. Accessible books on the politics of the 'digital divide' should be welcome. But please, this should be good fiction, not a con based on a third rate plot with a mix of specialist, that is not popular, knowledge.
