I am currently reading The Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. The book was released in 1998 and is a Sci-fi thriller. This is my first post about the book and I have not read the entire book yet. The main person is named Susan Fletcher and is a cryptograph for NSA. Susan is described as both beautiful and brilliant. Stubbornness is one of her characteristics which is a trait considering her profession. Also, she believes every code can be broken if enough time and effort is made. This opinion is put to test when she is faced with the main plot of the book. A code so advanced and brilliant it will paralyze the countries gathered information if it is to be released. NSAs supercomputer, which allegedly is able to break every code, has failed. The realization of the code has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power and the plot in the book is mesmerizing.
This was a short summary of what the book is about and how far I have come. The book so far is brilliant in my opinion. Dan Brown shows why his books are so popular all around the world with his ingenious writing. He is a blacksmith with words and I devour the pages one by one. My interest in the book increases as the plot thickens. His descriptions are detailed and accurate and the acts in the book are thrilling and exciting. Susan is faced with an opponent of proportions she has never encountered before. I relate to the character, not because of her stunning looks or brilliant intelligence. My arrogance has limits. However, I relate to Susan because of her stubbornness and her will to never give up. The book is amazing so far is my final statement.
