I have read "The DaVinci Code" and that was my first book by Dan Brown. Next, I read "Angels and Demons" then "Deception Point". In my opinion, Deception Point was the best of these great books. The story is full of action which is set during a presidential election, and then the author throws in some unsavory political characters that make the plot of this book very suspenseful. This is certainly an easy read and the writing style makes it an excellent bedside book. Check it out and have a good read.
