"I have never read a Dan Brown book before, but now i'm a fan! My brother handed me this book when i asked him if he had a book for me to read, at first i was skeptical because the book starts off slow, but i went on. If you like to be put in a world of suspense while reading this is definitely a book for you. This book is about a NASA satellite finding a 30decade year old meteorite buried in Arctic ice, which is essentially NASA's retaliation to Senator Sedgewick Sexton(a presidential candidate) criticizing their non-functional programs in his campaign. Then the story speeds up when senator Sexton send his daughter Rachael and a group of explorers/scientist to go and check out the newly discovered meteor.What Rachael, Micheal, Corcky, Norah, and Ming find is astonishing to say the least, just put it this way NASA does't always tell the truth(apparently) and the lives of Rachael and her friends are put on the line.....(for you to find out READ THE BOOK!)Its pretty simple, you cant always trust what you hear doesn't matter who tells you it. This book is definitely a "good read" and i would recommend it to people that like thriller books but CAUTION! You must patience because it is VERY VERY slow read. Well it was for me >,> Enjoyed reading the book and i'm definitely looking forward to reading more of Dan Browns books."
"Once again Dan Brown guides us through a wild ride of conspiracy and adventure. But this suspenseful story detours away from our usual hero, Robert Langdon, and instead introduces us to his female counterpart, Rachel Sexton. Ms. Sexton, an intelligence analyst working for the NRO. Rachel's father, Senator Sedgewick Sexton, is a popular presidential candidate and more key to the story, a staunch anti-NASA advocate. So when the president asks Rachel to join a team of civilian researchers in confirming a major NASA discovery deep within the Arctic's Milne Ice Shelf, she is more than skeptic. But when she learns what it is NASA's Earth Observation Satellite has found buried deep within the ice, she abandons her intuitions and joins the mission. Then, the real action begins as Rachel battles the ultimate patriotic question while searching for the truth in NASA's great find: 'do what is better for mankind...or for national security and prestige?'
Dan Brown's masterful fast-paced style will keep you wanting more until the very end."
"Deception Point didn't really get interesting until about 170 pages in, and I almost gave up on it. Despite this, I'm glad I didn't, but it isn't as good as the Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons. The parallels with his other characters in these books as well, annoyed me quite a lot. In the Da Vinci Code Robert Langdon has claustrophobia and has to overcome his fear; he also gets thrown together with two intelligent, attractive women in both the Da Vinci Code and its prequel. In Deception Point, Rachel Sexton is an intelligent, attractive woman, who happens to have a phobia of open water and subsequently finds herself locked in a submarine sinking to the bottom of the ocean; where she gets thrown together with an intelligent, attractive man. For all of the craft that goes into the plot of Dan Brown's stories, you'd have thought he would bother to alter his characters' motivation and obstacles a little from book to book..."
"ini adalah buku ketiga yang telah aku baca setelah da vinci code dan malaikat dan iblis..harusnya sih digital fortress dulu. Tapi yang paling dasyat tetep da vinci code dan malaikat iblis. Kalau yang satu ini, aku tidak membacanya secara penasaran pada setiap halamannya...jadi penasarannya hanya bagian yang mendekati akhir saja. Tapi tetap saja gaya dan brown tetep ada, maksudnya kepintaran dan brown tetap terlihat. Di buku ini tokohnya bukan langdon, bahkan seorang perempuan bernama Rachel. Dalam cerita ini Rachel seorang yang pintar. Baca aja deh..."
