Digital Fortress Dan Brown 9780552151696 Books

Ok- first off... I really did enjoy this book. However, now that I have all 4 of Brown's novels, I have noticed a certain formula that Dan Brown uses.

1- Use the word "Incredulous" as often as possible (although he kept the word to a minimum in "Digital Fortress" less than 10 occurrences).
2- The bad guy MUST be known by a term/phrase instead of a name (here he is known as "North Dakota").
3- The bad guy is double crossing the good guys... and you are NOT supposed to suspect this.

4- The novel must take place in the course of one day.
5- Your hero must wake-up and not have a clue that he will spend his entire day many miles away from home, while being chased by bad guys.
6- All good guys must be experts at something very arcane.
7- The ending must be weak.

If you follow these steps you too can write a Dan Brown novel. ORRRR you can use this formula to figure out the book you are currently reading after about 100 pages.

Of course, tweaks the formula for each of his books. However, "Digital Fortress" is clearly the little brother of all Brown's books. The plot is interesting and while the it certainly is a "Page Turner" you notice pretty quickly that everything doesn't quite add up. Like when the deaf guy notices all of the people entering the street because he HEARS a bell being rung.

As others have pointed out, Brown has taken quite a few liberties with computer programming. Even though it took me two tries to get through FORTRAN, I had very little trouble figuring out a few of the mistakes.

For the most part I enjoyed the novel. Since I know the Brown "Formula" it didn't take me very long to predict EXACTLY what would happen... but hey, sometimes a little predictability is ok!

Digital Fortress Dan Brown 9780552151696 Books Reviews

This thriller centers on cutting edge technology and NSA code-breaking abilities. And what is remarkable, is that this book still packs a punch 20 years after publication. In a fast-paced world of next generations, author Dan Brown gets major kudos for staying relevant. The story is well-developed and fast-paced. There are lots of false flags, a never ending halo of panic, and lots of twists and turns. It’s a suspense thriller that entertains. Good writing makes it an easy winner. Great pick up for the beach or airplane.
Not that Dan Brown needs any reviews to boost his sales, but while I've only seen the movies for his other popular books (vice reading them), a friend loaned me his copy of this book years ago insisting that I would like it because it had a female heroin in it. I trusted my friend, not because of the female heroin part, but because he knew me well--I'm so glad I did. I seriously only like reading when I'm going to learn something or for a purpose but not really for entertainment. I hadn't read a book for entertainment in so long that my teenage kid at that time (years ago) was so shocked at seeing me read, he assumed I had to be asleep as I was engrossed in this book. I couldn't put this book down--from start to finish. I keep hoping they'll come out with the movie version as I'd love to see that movie and honestly believe it will be better than any of Dan Brown's previous movies based on one character. Don't hesitate to buy or go find this at a library or wherever, but do read this book. I had to return my copy to my friend; however, I decided to buy it now that I'm retired and re-read it with all this time on my hands.
"Digital Fortress" is a debut novel from Dan Brown published in 1998. It is a high tech thriller type novel with two primary settings, NSA headquarters in Maryland and Seville Spain. The chapters shift back and forth, sometimes rapidly. The narrative style is modern and popular and thus provides a fairly easy read.

The book proved to be, at times, a true "page turner". Personally, for me, there were times that I wanted to know what happened next, only to have the scene shift away from the action, leaving the reader on hold.

When I say the action shifts, at times, rapidly, my copy, which I purchased on has 128 chapters in 371 pages. For me this made it easy to read a chapter during a quick break. However towards the end, chapters were often changing after one page, for no obvious reason. It was no big deal, it just seemed slightly strange to me. But I did really like the novel.

As is often the case, I learned a good deal from a work of fiction such as this. I has occurred to me that I have a lack of knowledge of Spain. I enjoyed reading about Seville and reading other information about Seville on my own.

On the other hand, the other setting is NEA headquarters in Maryland. In the novel, there is a collection of very brilliant people seemingly stumped by some fairly basic anagrams, epigrams, and scientific puzzles. For personal reasons, I do not wish to disclose I found some of those clues more cute than clever and would not have stumped such a collection of analysts for more than a few seconds, if at all. Some individual's minds operate in certain ways, and that is just how it is, and certain logical leaps are made almost involuntarily. Again, that is not to say this is still an enjoyable reading experience.

In summary, I liked this novel very much. It was not the huge success that some of Dan Brown's following novels proved to be. While I can appreciate why that is, I liked this novel and am very glad I had the chance to read it. Thank You...
