Deception Point by Dan Brown
4.0
I forgot just how engaging Dan Brown's books are. He had me googling and fact-checking the book every two minutes, thinking "this has to be made up", but of course, he uses real facts as a base.
The positives:
-The book is interesting, a page turner
-There are multiple plots and plot twists so you won't get bored
-Even with all the science talk, it isn't overwhelming
Negatives:
-The plot twists were a bit forced. Quite a few times have I murmured "How convenient for them" when a problem had a fairly tale-like solution.
-The 4-5 main storylines constantly switching might be interesting for most people, but for my brain, it was too much. Just when I get immerged in a story, a sudden cut-off dips you into the next one, like plunging in cold water. Unpleasant.
Overall, a fun, sciencey book that'll make you feel smart, but obviously not up to par with the Da Vinci code or Angels and Demons.
