as for the reviewer, stop being such a condescending prick. the book is in no way a hard nut to crack; the simplistic structure and constant hand-holding would allow a 10 year old to follow with ease
a classic case of nice idea, shame about the execution
i was cringing at brown's terrible writing from the get-go; amateurish, junior-high standard tripe
for a character with an iq of 170, susan sure was a dumb bint
i also hated that brown didn't even try to approach the theme he hinted at with a sledgehammer: "who watches the watchmen". instead, we literally got susan hearing that statement and saying "ABLOOBLOOBLOO I CANT HEAR U IM NOT LISTENING LOLZZZ"
Great Read, Highly recommend this book if you like a good thrill and romance and intelligence and humour. You will love the chase. And the conclusion. And the characters. And you will be so overwhelmed with how good this book is you will buy every single book Dan Brown has every written.
Also it was an intelligent book. My mind was filled with new ideas about how our government is spying on us. The NSA corp. could be seen as a bad corp. but then again they have save lives from spying on terrorists and criminals and finding out about bombs and such. It got me to think in two different sides. Sure the privacy is of opening emails is a factor but it saves lives, but then again who guards the guards? I wasn't sure at first who i should be rooting for Tankado or Strathmore...
This book deserves 6 out of 5 stars. How could you say it's not page turning? It's a thriller i couldn't put the book down even if i wanted to. I read it in 3 days it was so good. The suspense of the assassin with the wire-rim glasses and the romance between Susuan Fletcher and David Becker was killing me. My favourite chapters were the adventures Becker had to go through to get this ring. I loved the conclusion. I was really worried when i thought Becker had died i was almost in tears.
Though I'm Japanese, I've never seen, heard a Japanese who has a strange name... 'Ensei Tankado'. Ensei Tankado???
