Not Dan Brown's best work! Usual chills and thrills are there but a little disappointing!

Det här var tredje eller fjärde gången jag läste/lyssnade på den här boken och gemensamt för alla Dan Brown-böcker är att de blir sämre för varje gång. Ska försöka låta bli att lyssna om i framtiden och hålla mig till filmatiseringen av davincikoden

Pros: funny (mostly unintentional), page turner (mostly because the chapters are max. 3 pages long)
Cons: corny, dumb characters, the ending makes no sense, strangely horny

This was a very, very quick read, a real page-turner. I think it was my 3rd Dan Brown book. I seem to have given it 5-stars but I am not too fond of it now. After reading so many of his books, I don't like the fact that he uses the same basic story-line template in all of his books.
Of course, I've read The Da Vinci Code and the slightly better Angel's and Demons, so I wanted to give his first novel a go.
Digital Fortress is a decent thriller about a code breaking computer that fails to break a code. It's a bit more specialised than his other books-lots of computer and cryptography talk.
Part of the book is the head cryptographer's husband running round Seville hunting for clues..this was the bit that annoyed me because it was so forced. A languages teacher with no investigative experience keeps stumbling across the people and things he needs to solve the case.
The parts at the NSA were more interesting. But, overall, this is a good beach read thriller- easy to read, fast paced, and characters with simple motivations.
