Digital Fortress
Dan Brown
p.1- end
1hr.
Rating: 6.5/10
Digital Fortress is a story about the world of cryptography, and how one man tries to "protect peoples privacy" by shutting down the NSA's machine to intercept email's and texts.Although the plot is interesting, the whole book feels somewhat cliched. The story is prolonged, and the climax is overblown into a last second breaking of the code, which everybody knew was going to happen. It doesn't feel as if there's anything original and different about this book than others if its kind. That being said, it is still a thrilling read, and seldom gets too boring. This is one of the stories that puts a lot more focus on the plot than the characters, and that actually helps this book. Putting emphasis on the characters wouldn't have matched the feel of the book. Most of the characters are cliche secret agents, cold, merciless, and boring. Overall, this book was sort of dry, but the good plot and old-school sci-fi feel is enough to make it a decent read
