I have to say I love his writing style, I do not read many books but I wanted to see what all the big fuss was when The Da Vinci Code came out. So I read it and fell in love with his writing style. So I went and got the other three books that he wrote and read them, and now I am waiting for the new Robert Langdon book to come out, it is going to be sweet I thinks.

Da Vinci Code - I think it was good, the book was way better then the movie, I personally didn't like the movie all that much, but I loved the book, it really made you think.

Digital Fortress - I found this one really interesting since I am really into technology and hacking, so breaking codes in a book was just awesome.

Angels and Demons - Has to be his best book out of the bunch, way better then the other three by far. I did not see the ending coming at all, and the fact that he goes to the places to get the information first hand, the layouts the colors, everything. It makes you able to really get into the mind of the book, after reading it I looked up pictures of the Vatican and the places that were described in the book and they were almost exactly the way I pictured them in my head.

Deception Point - I have to say this was one of the more slow books out of the bunch, there were quite a few things that I think could have been taken out to save reading time. I actually stopped reading it for a wile because it was so slow in the mid first quarter, but then I needed something to read in school so I started reading it again.

If you are going to read the books I would recommend reading them in this order:

Angels and Demons
Da Vinci Code
Digital Fortress
Deception Point

I managed to read all his books on a 2 month long holiday a while back. My favorite of the series is easily Angels & Demons, as i'm into the whole ''more than meets the eye''stuff when it comes to religion. Probarbly followed by the Da Vinci code, then deception point, then Digital Foretress.

Read them all, love his writings.

Angels & Demons, I think I read the back of that one, what's it like (except for 'deep shit' :p )
Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.
