Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. One of my favorites. I'd never actually read a 'thriller' before, and this kinda spoiled me for most of the ones I've tried to read since. ( ) I have officially read every Dan Brown book and I am begging for more. I did not find Deception Point as good as Dan Brown's other novels, but it was still an instant classic that kept me on my toes. This novel was more of a political thriller, since it follows a secret NASA and the American Government have been hiding from the public. It was a well thought out plot with great character development, but I wanted more out of the novel. I wanted a little more suspense and thrills in this novel similar to Digital Fortress. This novel had nothing wrong with it other than me being selfish and wanting more action and thrills. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a quick read with thrills and unexpected plot twists. A great novel! I also want a sequel to this novel, since I want to see all the backlash that happens after the secret is discovered, and the continued building of relationships between some of the main characters. But alas, I doubt we will get one anytime soon from Dan Brown. I will hope though. There is a lot of potential for the characters in this book for further novels, and potentially discovering other secrets different Governments or agencies have hidden away from the public. Four out of five stars, since I wanted more action and thrills. Good time killer, as most of DB stuff is. Good Book, Well written and also It keeps reader in a situation to not keep the book down till its finished. Well told mystery aspects also. How it is built with politics, research and sense of Mystery. Da mi je neko dao ovaj roman da procitam, a da pri tome ne znam ko je pisac, pomislio bih da ga je napisao Majkl Krajton - veoma slican stil pisanja zaplet. U sustini daleko losije od romana koji su proslavili Dan Brown-a. Prica je bazirana na realnoj problematici sa kojom se NASA vec decenijama unazad suocava, takodje i na etickoj problematici koja se tice privatnog finansiranja svemirskih projekata. Kao minus bih naveo elemente blage naucne fantastike koji cine da sam zaplet gubi na realnosti cineci ga na neki nacin pomalo naivnim. Takodje, sami likovi su jednodimenzionalni klise. Zanrovski, roman je politicki triler baziran na nekoliko teorija zavere sa standardnom formulom "sam protiv svih". Prica je zabava za jedno popodne i po meni vredi tri zvezdice. Posto sam ponesto i naucio iz ovog romana, poklanjam cetvrtu zvezdicu.
It's an excellent thriller a big yet believable story unfolding at breakneck pace, with convincing settings and just the right blend of likable and hateful characters. He's also done his research, folding in sophisticated scientific and military details that make his plot far more fulfilling than the norm. Is contained inContainsDistinctionsNotable Lists
