QUOTE
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.

Agreed!!

in fact i think Deception Point is better than Da Vincci's Code..
I didn't read Digital Fortress though.. Dad said it's kinda boring

Digital Fotress OK la, like his own style lo.
u can predict the style after a while, but i still like it!
worth to read~

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????
*
well, i am bout the same wif u.
i read 3 out of 4, missing out deception point.
digital fotress is OK , but DVC is my first book , so its a lot more interesting!
and it got me hooked up wif dan~

I've read Angels & Demons, DaVinci Code and Digital Fotress in that order. I was lucky to be introduced to DB's work by a friend who had read them, so I read Angels & Demons first.  This was before DVC was made into a movie. I already have Deception Point but just haven't gotten round to reading it yet.

One thing I especially liked about Angels & Demons is how certain words were designed to be identical when viewed upside down. Like the stylized title itself. Very cool. I wonder if they will use that in the movie?

Isn't that like part of the whole idea? I mean, from the book, the ambigrams are supposed to be the proof of Illuminati's existence (or something like that, you know, cos only the Illuminati has the ambigrams..)
*
Yes, this is so cool! when i flip the book its the same word!~
how do they do tat?

QUOTE(tgrrr @ Apr 16 2009, 05:06 PM)
I like the ending and how it corresponds to the title "Angels and Demons". Who's Angel and who's Demons.
*
the moral of the story: the angel in your heart might turn out to be the demon in the end.
