Dan Brown

Dan Brown is a genius. Why is he a genius? Because he confrims all of his facts before writing his books. They are masterful works of mystery/thriller novels. He only has 4 books to his name: but all of them have been on the New York Times Bestseller list.

He has written: Digital Fortress, Deception, Angels and Demons, and The Da Vinci Code.

-Digital Fortress is a techo-thriller dealing with code breaking and the super-secret government branch, The National Security Agency (NSA)

-Deception Point is another techno-thriller, involving poilitics, conspiracy, and a web of lies leading all the way to the White House. also in this novel is a government agency more secret then the NSA, The National Reconnaisance Office (NRO)

-Angels and Demons is an exploration into religious obsession, starring Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbology professor. This novel involves an ancient Satanic brotherhood, Vatican City, and an antimatter explosive

-The Da Vinci Code is the second novel starring our favorite professor Robert Langdon. The Da Vinci Code is about a secrect society determined to protect the one secret the Catholic Church has strived for centuries to destroy.

Dan Brown's next novel is due to come out in summer 2005, and it's another adventure w/ Robert Langdon, his first escapade on American soil, delving into out nation's capitol's secret history. That's all that's revealed at this time.

Note to BKK: I have two other Dan Brown threads, could you merge them, please? Sorry 😮

I'm keen to read Angels and Demons.

It's excellent! 😱

Hey all, was just wondering if anyone has ever read any of Dan Drown's books? I am currently reading Angels and Demons. He also wrote The Davinci Code.

he has alot of fans I see!

I'm his #1 fan!!! 😱

.........Bump

Dan Brown is an Exellent Writer. 😬

I liked the Da-VC and A&D's He is a vary good writer.

he is not a great writer! the books were very good but he isnt a great writer. it is cliche.

I agree with Deano, not an amazing writer, but does write interesting fun books.

Angels and Demons owns. ✅

The DA Vinci Code is a great book best he has ever done.

okay i'm half way through Deception Point now, after I've already read DVC and A&D. I'll have to admit that Deception Point really had me glued to it up to this point, until suddenly I've figured out who's the ultimate "bad guy" behind the scenes without skipping ahead to read the end of the book, just from my experience with DVC and A&D. I kinda know already what to expect in Deception Point. And tht really spoiled the book for me.

I am still a big fan of Dan Brown and the logic and facts presented in all his books. Rest assured, howerver, I couldn't help but noticing one theme shared by all his books I've read - the character who appears to be most trustworthy always reveals himself to be the biggest foe in the end. Duh... Come to think of it, Sir Leigh Teabing in DVC, the Camerlengo in A&D, and the director of NRO in DP... These guys came to "rescue" and "solace" our heros and heroines when they're at the most desperate state. Then they were fighting alongside the main characters, then booooom they unveiled their ugliness. So like I said, pick the most upstanding and justified supporting character in Dan's books, be prepared that he'll be the power broker to twist your minds.

It's the rule of thumb of almost all thriller fictions, including Dan's books too, that the killer guy is among the allies. Ooooo look out, wolf in disguise of sheep skin.

his books are good if you just want a sorta light read action adventure.
he is not however a good writer, as anyone with any remote knowledge of english literature will tell you.
i think that angels and deamons is his best book, however he has just become so hyped because of "his" controversial ideas in the da vinci code which werent even his own!!!
i think its good that he has inspired more people to read, but please dont say hes a good writer, its just painful for the people who know otherwise

yeh thats what i said. all his stuff is cliche anyway

Agreed, because of his work I've made it a mission to trek to Europe and explore all the places mentioned in A and D and DVC 🙂

It can't be cliche if it's historically based 🤨
Obviously it's happened before, in history that is.
I don't see how

Spoiler:
having an albino murderer, who's hobbies include corporal mortification, murder, and last but not least devoutness to the church, search out and kill the members of the real secret society of the Priory of Sion, in search of the holy grail, be cliche.

Maybe it's just me though 👀

buh! he's over rated

I don't think he's over rated so to speak, I think that a lot of idiots just jumped on the bandwagon because of the amount of publicity the books were getting and read it because of the promise of gruesomness, whereas some of us *cough me* read these types of books for not only entertainment but for their historical values.

even though theyre not necessarily historically factual....
