Entertainment Weekley:

Brown is overbought, oversold, AND DEF. OVERDONE; I began liking his work----admittedly light, but an easy, fun read to zip thru; now...........nah. Dan, you've become nothing more than a "typist"------

Dan Brown's newest is the best of the lot! My partner and I couldn't put it down once we started reading it and now we can't wait for the film! We both spent time "googling" different aspects of the science and came away with a greater appreciation of the research it takes to make a novel this gripping. We also loved the many descriptions of the various sites in Washington, D.C., having been to almost all of them but never knowing of the many intriguing aspects of most of them. What a ride this book was and worth every penny!
