Review title: Not one of Brown's better titles...
Product review: After having read the Da Vinci Code, my first Dan Brown novel, I expected great things from Digital Fortress. Being a techno-geek, I was attracted to the digital-encryption theme that is the hook of this story. Unfortunately, the characterization is sub-standard. You just don't care what happens to any of these people. The plot is interesting, but unbelievable.Angels and Demons is much better, although Da Vinci Code is probably the best of Brown's lot so far.If you're into techno-thrillers, I would recommend Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, an 1100-page journey through World War II code-breaking, hidden gold, and brilliant characters. It's a marathon read, but highly interesting, and much more believable.
