http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_BrownQUOTE Dan Brown (born June 22, 1964) is an American author of thriller fiction, best known for the 2003 bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code and the 2000 bestselling novel, Angels & Demons.
Brown is interested in cryptography, keys, and codes, which are a recurring theme in his stories. Currently his novels have been translated into more than 40 languages.
Although Brown's books are criticized as being anti-Christian, Brown states on his website that he is a Christian[2] and says of his book The Da Vinci Code that it is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith". Novels: 1. Digital Fortress, 1998
2. Angels & Demons, 2000
3. # Deception Point, 2001
4. The Da Vinci Code, 2003
5.# The Solomon Key, release date not yet announced.

I've read all four books as well, and my thoughts echo those of Stephen King, Stephen Fry, Geoffrey Pullum, Roger Ebert, and the venerable New York Times.
What Dan Brown's writing has been described as amongst literary circles isn't very flattering.

I have all of it as well.. but when you start with angels and demons and Da vinci code, the rest seem so predictable.
his style is very much like Micheal Crichton which is another of my favorite.
I do enjoy the historical background and the intrigues.
The trailer for angels and demons looks good, but as the da vinci movie, I think only by reading the book first you can appreciate the movie.
Lots of missing details and link and the anticipation is just isn't the same with the book.

i personally like Digital Fortress better. Among all the 4 books, I only finished reading 3.
Digital Fortress is a bit tense and both parties are doing their best to sovle a problem at different places.
The Da Vinci Code has a nice consistant storyline with predictable storyline. A nice to read...
Deception Point is too much politics and cons mixed up together... hence the title... But near the end of the novel, a bit too messed up and I kinda got mind fked... =___=...
I'm gonna read Angels and Demons before the movie releases. Just like back then with Da Vinci Code... I finished DVC just for the movie which turned out to be a absolute change here change there...
Dan... when is Solomon Key out????

I hated the fact that it was Tom Hanks who played Langdon. When reading, I was imagining some professor who looked like Robert Redford or something!
