Like so many other people, I'm a big fan of Dan Brown's other work and was excited to have a thrilling read for the beach. Unfortunately I did not enjoy this as much as Angels & Demons or The Lost Symbol, I didn't find it to be a page turner like the other ones. However I did really enjoy the insight you got in the White House and NASA.

Κλασσικό βιβλίο του Dan Brown! Έχω διαβάσει ήδη αρκετά δικά του για να μπορώ να αναγνωρίσω a pattern αλλά και πάλι το λάτρεψα. Στην αρχή χρειάστηκε να το αφήσω γιατί δεν είχα χρόνο, αλλά μόλις διάβασα μερικά κεφάλαια ήξερα πως έπρεπε να το καταβροχθίσω. Και αυτό έγινε στην τελική. Οι τελευταίες σελίδες ήταν μια άγρυπνη νύχτα για μένα. Με συναρπάζει ο τρόπος που μας δίνει στοιχεία μέσα από τους διαφορετικούς χαρακτήρες και οπτικές και πως μας κάνει να βλέπουμε τους μεγάλους αρχηγούς και οργανισμούς.
Very predictable. It was too boring and a waste of time. Could've been a lot shorter. Many things just didn't give to the lot and weren't necessary.
4.5 stars. This book is how to infodump without making it boring.
I wish I could rate it more than 3 but somehow I couldn’t connect to the story. I wanted it to give me that nail biting, breath holding experience, but where is that. It dwell so much into building the plot and once the plot is at its peak what happened exactly? I mean I do believe in twists and turns but there should be a reason. The villain became villain without any reason and the supposed villain died a martyr. In the end everything seemed vague. Like what did nasa head told Henry? How he react to that? Where are those details? And wait, why Pickering and her switched places?
Was it absolutely necessary for Rachel to act in lincon room? Initially everything was slow, my head was spinning with too much information and by end everything was rushed. Why why why??
Yeah one should like it if they can remove the pre notion of reading Dan brown, I couldn’t.
It’s fine one time read I guess.

Ich wusste gar nicht, worauf ich mich einlasse. Meine Mitbewohnerin hat das Buch erwähnt und ich hatte es zufälligerweise zu Hause. Am Anfang (bzw. etwas länger) hat mich das ganze stark an Crichtons "State of Fear" erinnert, wobei Meteor viel älter ist. Es war ja mal was anderes als Sakrileg und Illuminati (die ich auch vor langen Jahren gelesen habe), aber trotzdem total spannend und unterhaltsam. Das Ende war (änlich wie bei Crichton) total absurd und übertrieben, der Abspann passend kurz und abgeschlossen.
Ich bin echt froh, dass ich das Buch gelesen habe, es war ziemlich faszinierend. Es wundert mich eigentlich, wieso längst ein Film nicht gedreht wurde.

A rip-roaring and faced-paced thriller from Dan that I felt compelled to read again! It was equally entertaining the second time around! Scientific shenanigans in the Artic.
