I finished this epic 738 page book in less than 2 and half days which is probably the least time i took to complete a book, except one of the Robert Ludlum's books that i read, during my 10+2.
In short, Deception Point - is story about NASA's discovery of a meteorite in the Arctic ice shelf, which has a fossil of ET life and how the incumbent government uses this discovery to boost its image before an impending presidential election and how other secret US agencies have their own ambitions and vested interests.
Even though the pace of the book was very fast like a Hollywood motion picture, there are lots of illogical stuff in the book which is irritating because you can feel that author has researched a lot on the sciences or technology that is involved in the book like - meteors, ice, ocean creatures, special ops forces technology etc. A couple of examples would be - presidential contender debating a president's senior staff on CNN, daughter of presidential contender agreeing to brief the white house staff - the reason why she was brought in to do it and president himself requesting her to do that -is totally crap. Dan Brown could have done a lot better.
Well, it is no wonder all his previous novels were discovered only after he wrote "The Da Vinci Code" , otherwise probably no body would have really cared for his novels.
Dan Brown's next novel, "The Lost Symbol" is being released this September, 2009 - six years after he wrote da vinci code, hopefully he won't disappoint his readers.
Rating 2.5/5.0
