Deception Point

by Dan Brown

Okay, so I've been lax. August was a busy month, what with C. leaving town, me visiting home, and starting/shuffling classes. That, and I haven't really been reading crazy good books that I just HAD to write about. I've been busy reading things that I know I'll have no time to get sucked into once school starts. And thus, Dan Brown is on the list.

The book is formulaic. But I still like the formula. And as someone who thinks about science, politics and funding, it was interesting. But it doesn't contain the thrills and chills of the previous ones. If we're judging just by page-turner-ness, it's great. If we're judging by how it compares to books in the genre by other writers, it's great. It's only when we compare it to other books by Dan Brown that it starts to get a little tired.
