I finished reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown, author of best sellers Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. For those of you who read DVC and A&D know that they both start exactly the same way, in the first chapter, someone dies. The same happens in Digital Fortress. The story is so-so, the plot is a bit weak, but entertaining nonetheless. However, I found the book to be way too predictable, I solved the first of the two major riddles 150 pages before they do, and the second one as soon as I read it, I knew the answer. You know, for highly intelligent people -- that is emphasized often in the book -- they're not so quick.
If you like Dan Brown's style, you will probably enjoy the book.
