February 11, 2009Deception Point
Author: Dan Brown
Fantastic work. Superbly written. I was simply impressed by the way Mr. Brown kept the suspense smoothly from chapter to chapter. It was so bad sometimes that I felt like leaping ahead to solve the mystery. Even if you took the action and figured out the result to that problem, it may just be useless. Clever Mr. Brown had placed hitches even in the solutions to bewilder and anticipate you again. It is frustrating, but this book is certainly one of the can’t-put-down novels.
Since I have a major problem in summarizing everything I hear and learn- well, that’s not such an obstacle in my general life, but it surely is one in education (since all the troubling essays and written work require a lot of information)- I never actually knew there was such a job in which one can literally gist, or summarize documents, and still get well-paid. This is the job Rachel Sexton, the main character, has in this novel. I was quite impressed of knowing such a job exists, and surprised that it even exists.
I really liked the setting of the book. The time and place for every plot was clear and made sense. Actions took place at the reasonable areas. For example: the act of the deadly assassins after Rachel and her friend-partner, Michael, in the snow storm at Antarctic was a completely exciting part. You would never assume that luck in a situation like theirs would still be on their side. With well-trained and heartless people such as those assassins, humans barely survive. Nevertheless, no matter how much evil there is in the world, good still defeats the bad i guess. The timings of events were excellent as well; I liked how most of the murders that took place under the evil dark times of the nights were creatively planned out. They were so full of tensions that I can’t recall being this anticipated even in movies.
Though I have read many thrillers, this book takes the first place in my list. I give him a solid A. It’s what he and this book truly deserve.
I don’t usually read thrillers – not because I don’t like them, but just because I end up picking books that belong to other genres. This book seems interesting and enjoyable enough for you to rate it an A. I’m reading a pretty slow book at the moment, so I think I’ll read something with a little more action, like Deception Point, next time.
Seems as if you like this book
