I'm 18 and I don't like to read that much but this is the best book I've read in a long time. Great action and suspense...couldn't put it down.

Im 15, and i love books. This was one of those books that you see in a book store, become interested in the title read the plot at the back and end up reading it. It incorporated alot of recent american technologies and proved quite interesting. I would recomend it to almost anyone in any age bracket. :)

This page turner twisted my mind over and over again! The characters and events are chosen strategically to keep the reader entertained and enthralled! I enjoyed this thriller immensely because Dan Brown's great writing skills can use literally 5 different situations and connect them into one bigger story like a tile mosaic with each piece completing its purpose. The title, Deception Point, is a great summary of this action-packed book! READ READ READ!!!

I'm 16, I stumbled upon this book by mistake and considering i am not a big reader, i was skeptical. But thi book was amazing yet its ending lacked conclusion.

The book was very intriquing , but I felt the ending fell off as confusing and then boring. It was a ride through 5/6th of the book and extremely informative. Unfortunately, the author found a need to keep putting action in your face instead of concentrating on a plausable ending. As the ultimate deception in the book came to a head, it was not suppoted by previous events. For those that just want action without reason, this is a great book.

hi,
I am 22 years old. This is an exciting book. Since it involves a lot of technology it might not be as famous as Davinci code. Davinci code was ulitmate. I was not able to keep the book down for the first 25 chapters to find out what did they find. After that ..it is very scientific. Since I was an engineer I have understood or keep interest but for non-scientific people it might not be interesting. But the way the book described each scene was awesome. The real interest comes in finding the truth. I have never thought of that as a possiblity in any direction. As soon as hearing the truth you find thrilling and slightly confuzed but if you hear the reason which holds the secret , you will realise it .
Coming to the some other points.This book is slightly voluminous and certain things does'nt seem to be practical. But Over it gave a good knowledge of technology and important thing is it made me realise that how things can be done or being done. It is just we are ignorant. Ignorance might be bliss but we come of this ingnorance we will feel it .Coming out of ignorance and realising things is the best feeling I can ever enjoy.

Certainly Science Fiction that would fit better in a 30/40-page comic
Oh boy! The book has interesting information about new technology, and the initial plot goes fine for a while... then, the big storm of exaggeration and the author's delusion that the story gets interesting and exciting... when it actually, well, it does get that sometimes, but then again, it fails to deliver: so much cliché, and so much grandeur all around the character's lives and situations from beginning to end. I would have enjoyed much more in a 30-40 pages comic. Being it a 600 or 700 pages makes it a waste of time once I finished it. That's my humble opinion, and I did read it all in good will, but ended up laughing and bewildered at such a story and manner of telling it. Anyways... it looks like many people like it (just as so many people like... uhmm... infomercials?)
