I am more of a Romantic novels reader, three people broke that jinx, Frank McCourt, Jeffrey Archer & best of all Dan Brown.I have become an addict to Dan Brown books, the first i read was Da vinci code, which became a huge success despite critics and was later made into a film. When the film was out someone actually convinced me, or should i say confused me, that it did not have any relationship wit the book, i thought to myself 'there's no point in watching it if there's no realtionship', so for a year after its release i didnot see it, but then i couldnot get away from it for long as i ended up seeing the film not once but three times.
The next of his books i read was Deception Point, followed by Digital Fotress, and then Angels and Demons. Funny i read them in descending order, the first last & the last first.
Most people, especially the Catholics, would wonder why people would read books like that, with two of his books creating a 'mystery' about the christain faith with special concentration on the catholic faith. But wat i've found out is that he writes using facts, reality and a bit of fiction. Facts that majority of us donot want to accept but nevertheless they are there.
Digital Fotress & Deception Point, for example center arround the 'American Deception' so to speak, about the NASA and their 'Findings'.
After reading his books it made me realise that a lot of things we see or are made to think might not really be what they are, and the Cryptology in his books give me the Creeps, nice rhyme.Am eagerly waiting for his next book, The Solomon Key, which was due in 2007 but was moved to early this year, and is still not out.............. As for the critics, am not going to stop reading his books cos i have learnt a lot from it, things i never gave a thought before.
