I absolutely LOVE Dan Brown. He is definitely one of my MOST FAVORITE authors of all time.

I enjoyed the popular Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons and Digital Fortress. In fact, they all took me about a couple of days together. I simply couldn't put the book down. Da Vinci Code had such a realistic feel to it, that after I finished, I thought to myself "What if that really did happen?" I love books that have a reference to history, because it can never be absolutely 100% certain as to what happened, especially European history. I'm probably going to reread his stories many many times when I get the chance to.

I've read every single book by Dan Brown, Da Vinci Code was the most interesting as it got me deeply interested into the Knights Templar. I'm hoping they make Angels and Demons into a movie though I doubt they will, hopefully he releases a new book soon; Digital Fortress is definitely my favourite though.

I read angels and demons and the divinci code, but I'm reading digital fortress right now. I have to say that out of them all I really liked angels and demons the best.

I've read Deception Point, Angels and Demons and Da Vinci Code. They were amusing; I'm neither wildly for them nor against them.

Angels and Demons, was a very transparently silly book to me, though. Dan Brown's style, of course, depends on surprising the reader, but I was really already familiar with a lot of information he gave in that book. And as for all the amazed obsession with ambigrams! I play around with those myself from time to time, so I managed to come up with some sort of inversion for each of the four short ones before they appeared in the text; I got sufficiently used to the style that was used in the book that my version of the fourth one was almost the same as the book's.

Oh yes now he is one good authur! I wanted to see devinchi code but my mom said no because she thought it would change my out look on church so she bought the book and we where supposed to read it together so she could explain things to me (which did not need to be done) I read it on my own last year and she still has yet to readit. I thought it was very very good. I also have read angels and demons (I got it as a easter present from my aunt) I thought this one was much better than the other one I have only read these two of his books.

Oh gawd, I adore his books. x3
I think my favorite might be Deception Point, although I do like Angels and Demons alot as well. I haven't read Digital Fortress - D: - but I plan to do that soon. : D The books are just so good! I love the take that Deception Point took on the NASA and the presidential campaigns. Some parts of that book were pretty funny. x3
Sadly, I have not seen The Da Vinci Code as a movie, but then again, everyone says it's absolutely terrible. If anything, I want to see the movie so I can comment and critique on it with my friends for a good laugh. xP

The only one of the four I haven't read is Deception Point. I thought Digital Fortress and Da Vinci Code were ok. I thought Angels and Demons was the best. It was very interesting :3

I was going to read the Da Vinci code, but then I realized I'd already read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and that it would be much more satisfying to re-read the book that Dan Brown got all of his information from, without the trite dialogue and elementary literary constructs.

Oh yeah, I have all four and I absolutely loved them all. I think Angels and Demons was best and I can't wait for the movie to come out.
Digital Fortress was good, but was almost too 'within the box' for my liking - I don't like books that you can guess the ending, and unfortunately I got an idea of where it might go half way through, and was upset when it happened!
Deception point was great, even though the theories behind it are more obviously far-fetched in this than they are in the other three, it's still a really good book.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed all four and would absolutely read all of them again given the time to do so! I'm hoping Dan brown will bring out another novel in the near future, as other novelists don't quite reach the same level for me anymore.

While I like his books and I think they are interesting. They are getting to easy for me to guess what is going to happen. He seems to have a formula of who the bad guy is. By the time I read the Deception Point I was able to guess who the antagonist was before the book was over. Maybe in his other books I haven't read yet he doesn't follow the same pattern, but the ones I have had he has.

The two books I read out of those four were the most known, DaVinci Code and Angels&Demons.

I agree with most it seems. While the premise and the overall plot were good, his writing style is very simplistic and dry most of the time. I might agree with the shoddy dialog, but I think he was simply trying to appeal to a wider audience (admittly, lowering his vocabulary stash in the process).

Sophie's character seemed... quite silly, in my humble opinion. She got scared of her grandfather having sex? Ran away and didn't speak to him for years? Either way, her character seemed very flat and uninteresting.

However, I'm a bit of a conspiracy fan, and all the "facts" in the book about Paganism and Christainity's past and old teachings and stuff really interested me.

Last summer i read everyone of those books, and by golly i could read them again and again and again they are deadly there are so many twists and turns in them you don't expect what is going to happen next they are extremely thrilling!!

The only book by Dan Brown that I have read was "The DaVinci Code," but i really liked it. I have been tempted to watch the movie to compare the two, but so many people have told me they hate the movie and that it really is not a good idea to see it.

I really liked all the codes and things in the book. The SanGreal has interested me for a few years, ever since I played a role playing game called Rapture that one of my friends invented. One of the characters in the game was a Templar Knight, so I wound up researching the Knights Templar later, and that led me onto the Holy Grail, and also, SanGreal. It's really quite interesting, the various legends and stories throughout that area of history.

I've read Davinci Code, Angels and Demons, and Digital Fortress.

Hmm, I really don't get the hype of these books. They're so predictable! The storyline formats are the same for all 3 I've read. Boy is expert in field, girl loses father (or family member... usually father) in some strange event, expert helps... boy and girl fall in love *yawn* maybe if it were only one of them... but all three? No thanks.

I sold them all and wouldn't buy another.

I also liked all the religious facts and whatnot... the Templar stuff was good. It's pretty much all I liked about it though.
