Review title: Disappointingly predicable at every turn
Product review: I have to agree with the first reviewer. I, like many, became introduced to Dan Brown with the DaVinci Code... and having read that I decided to work backwards through his novels. While I do feel that Brown essentially writes the same book over and over (same outline, same character construction) he usually manages to make it interesting.This book could have been, but it is so utterly predicable that I could have stopped half way through (and mentally did) and finish it. I only kept reading it with the hope that he would fool me - he didn't. I knew the password for the elevator long before it was divulged, knew who the "bad guy" was from about chapter three, knew the "unlock code" as soon as the first hint was given - something that took the NSA characters another five or six tedious pages to figure out.Brown turns his intelligent characters into drooling idiots in this novel. Give this one a pass. Enjoy his other works.
