The characters are strongly drawn and the plot flies. Both _DaVinci Code_ and _Angels and Demons_ left me cold -- too contrived. Loved it. Mixing political realities with science is so real in our 21st century world that it reads more like a non-fiction tale than a novel. So I picked up _Deception Point_ only because my husband recommended it. It grabbed me within a few paragraphs and I was fascinated by the scientific and technical aspects that Dan Brown states are already in use.
obviously not brand new condition. Make sure you ask for pictures of the item as "brand new" does not mean it is in "brand new" condition. the book I received stated it was "brand new" and was ripped, the pages were turning yellow.

I would rank this book somewhere between The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons.better than DaVinci, not quite as good as Angels.Michael T.
Even though it's boring and contrived, you can easily make it through 50 pages a night and be done with it in a week. Not so much characters as caricatures.The only reason I made it though this book is because, like other Brown novels, it is so easy to read. Of course, you could just skip it altogether and save yourself the anguish and frustration. I would write a detailed review on why I didn't like this book, but it's not worth it to waste more time on a book that took so much of it from me already.Suffice to say, the plot is boring and the overriding theme of NASA possibly being shut down due to the action or inaction of certain characters is duller than a roll of toilet paper. I highly doubt the possible privatization of NASA (or keeping it a government agency) is enough to keep most readers interested, and that is the focal point of the novel.The characters are dull.
I have a dog like that. Daughter Lara watched this video. She enjoyed it very much.
