Review title: Short on reality
Product review: I've read three of Dan Brown's books (Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons, and The DaVinci Code). All three have technological flaws that make the stories hard to swallow. In the Digital Fortress at the end of the book, the big problem is preventing all of the Internet hackers from getting into the NSA's massive database with all of the world's secrets. As the security is slowly breached, nobody can figure out how to prevent the hackers from getting in. Anybody think about disconnecting from the Internet? This is a "national crisis" so keeping out the good guys is not as important as keeping out the bad guys.The other problem I have with Dan Brown's characters is that they are brilliant in the beginning of the books and then half way through they can't figure out the simpliest problem. This is especially true in Digital Fortress and the DaVinci Code.The stories are fast moving and engrossing as long as you're willing to accept Brown's flawed premises.
