Review title: The worst of Dan Brown (which isn't necessarily a bad thing)
Product review: I made it my mission this summer to read all of Brown's novels, and having accomplished that goal, I can say without reservation that Digital Fortress is at the very back of the pack. It was certainly suspenseful, as all of his books are, but the topic of this book was lacking the intrigue, depth, and meaning of his other books' subject matter. Of course, the debate over balancing national security and personal privacy is an important one, but Digital Fortress falls flat as a social commentary.This book is best described as an old-fashioned whodunnit thriller/murder mystery that happens to take place in an ultra-modern setting (the NSA complex). Meanwhile, as kind of a side-story, you've got a college professor on a wild goose chase through the streets of Spain. The whole thing just doesn't quite work, but the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter still keep you turning the pages right to the lackluster finish.
