salerosa Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Nice review!!! It's the last book i 've read and i liked it a lot!! And also it was the first book of Dan Brown that i ever read!!! The next will be illuminati!!! Quote
Pat W Hendersen Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Digital Fortress was the first Dan Brown novel that I read (before the ensuing hubbub) and the one that caused me to decide in no uncertain terms never to read another. Imagine my astonishment, as he became the world Quote
Nollaig Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I can only assume he wears his paunch freakily well and his IQ tips the balance at somewhere around 250. That made me crack up. I haven't actually read Digital Fortress, it's the only one I don't yet own, but I will get around to it, for consistencey's sake. Quote
lopeanha Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) It's the first Dan Brown book that I've read. It started very boring with all this computer talk (which I know nothing about) but it got better towards the end. I definately think that the book could have ended, when the professor guy's almost dead and pulls out the ring. That would have been the perfect ending imo. Why did the book need two (or so) more chapters? Edited May 8, 2009 by lopeanha Quote
Nollaig Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 If you're going to included spoilers in your posts, you need to wrap spoiler tags around the spoiler, for people who haven't actually read the book, like me. Quote
lopeanha Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) sorry! better? Edited November 9, 2010 by lopeanha Quote
Nollaig Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Yeah it's no problem in this case, as I haven't a clue who you were talking about it's just in case you accidentally spoil something, I nearly do it myself sometimes, get carried away discussing and forget maybe some people don't want to know Quote
Mac Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I quite enjoyed Digital Fortress. Dan Brown's books are of the sort that you can pick up, bang through and shut your brain off with. I got a little bored after having read all four with the handsome-intelligent-man-meets-gorgeous-intelligent-woman thing, too, though. I wish I was the hero in a Dan Brown novel... Actually, I often wish I was the hero in the novels I read. God, I'm pathetic... Quote
sdeangelo Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Digital Fortress was not bad, though in my opinion it lacked the intrigue that I felt when I read both Angels and Demons and the Da Vinci Code. Still a good one, though, in my opinion! Anyone excited for The Lost Symbol? Quote

beef Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 this is purely technical & firmly set in reality. yes, us tech people are forever having to solder new cpu's into place. Quote
Kell Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 Well, moreso than running around looking for long-lost descendents of Jesus - LOL! Quote
beef Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Well, moreso than running around looking for long-lost descendents of Jesus - LOL! I would debate that. Time spent soldering in my entire life: 0 Time spent trying to make sense of jesus: lots Time spent running: little as possible Quote
Kell Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 Ah, see, I'm the other way round: Time spent soldering: Quite a bit (I used to be a technician) Time spent looking for descendents of Christ: Zero Time spent running: Well, like you, as little as possible, but mostly because I get black eyes when I do!

ian Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I've read all four (i.e not the new one) all Dan Brown's books, and had much the same reaction to them all. They are all great page turners, difficult to put down; but once I'd finished, I found myself a little dissapointed. In the case of digital fortress I'd guessed the ending and the identity of the "baddie" about a third of the way through. At least it dosen't have a completely ridiculous ending like Angels & demons!

Chrissy Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hello Ian, and welcome to the forum! I've read all four (i.e not the new one) all Dan Brown's books, and had much the same reaction to them all. They are all great page turners, difficult to put down; but once I'd finished, I found myself a little dissapointed. This is exactly how I feel about them! They are the junk food meal that's great at the time of eating, but leaves you empty a while later! Quote
ian Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 That's exactly how a friend of mine described them to me! Ian Quote
